Morphology

salad + bowl

The meaning 'a bowl used for mixing or serving salad' is directly and transparently derivable from the constituents 'salad' (a salad) and 'bowl' (a round dish). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound with no idiomatic shift and follows common compositional patterns seen across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.

Etymology

Salad bowl comes from a simple, everyday picture: a salad (mixed vegetables) tossed in a bowl (a round dish) before people eat. So the phrase means a bowl used to mix or serve a salad, for one person or for a group.
