  1. Behlen's Salad Bowl Finish--a brush-on finish that's hard and food-safe when dry.
  2. Clapham's Salad Bowl Finish--a beeswax / mineral oil finish that's safe from the get-go. Needs to be renewed from time to time. My favorite.
  3. Plain beeswax or plain mineral oil or plain walnut oil. Or any combination of the three. My second choice.

There are others.
