English term or phrase: Salad bar smarts

Salad bar smarts. Limit the amount of ready made salads such as: potato, pasta, cheese and nut salads; they are loaded with mayonnaise and other high fat dressings.
Use low calorie dressings or put dressings in a separate container and teach your child to dip his fork into the bowl (this is fun for the toddler and a healthy habit).

salad bar smarts bufé de ensaladas inteligente (o bufé inteligente de ensaladas)

Explanation:
RAE:

1. m. bufé (‖ comida).

2. m. Arg. bufé (‖ mesa).

3. m. Arg. bufé (‖ local).

No creo que sea el caso de "decisiones inteligentes". Creo que es una expresión completa que da esa idea.

agree

Tomás Cano Binder, CT: Hm... Comprendo lo que quieres decir. Pero si lo piensas, no es sobre cómo preparar tú tu propio bufé en casa, sino cómo elegir cosas del bufé de ensaladas para llevarlas a tu mesa para tus chicos. Pero un agree porque es "bufé".

-> gracias, Tomás. yo entendi como lo dijiste también, pero igual me suena mejor escrito en español como o puse aquí.

agree

Marina56: Si, Bufé de ensaladas o mesa de ensaladas, donde puedes componer la propia a tu gusto. En Argentina usamos mucho lo de Mesa de ensaladas.

12 hrs

-> grcias Marina.

disagree

Beatriz Galiano: Sorry, pero no creo que las ensaladas puedan ser inteligentes.

-> Creo que no... Un tomate poeta sería muy divertido, no? Si no entendiste la idea no voy a ser yo la que te la va a explicar... buena semana!

10 hrs confidence:

salad bar smarts Sea inteligente en el buffet de ensaladas.

Explanation:
La opción de Cristina, cambiando "barra" por "buffet", quedaría perfecta.
Otra opción es esta, reformulada, pero con el mismo concepto.

Perdón, veo en la RAE que "bufet" se escribe con una efe. "Bufé" también se acepta, en Argentina por lo visto se usa más así. Escribí buffet con dos efes porque en Mallorca (isla turística en la que vivo) se escribe siempre así en los carteles de tanto restaurantes como hoteles (los carteles en castellano, digo).
