Salad bowl (cultural idea)

A salad bowl is a way of thinking about different cultures coming together to create something new. It's like mixing different ingredients together to create a tasty salad. The different ingredients (cultures) can be combined in lots of different ways to create something new, while still retaining the individual characteristics and flavours of the ingredients. So it's like taking the best of all these different cultures and creating something special out of them.
