Reynolds Kitchens Tip:
Make colorful ice bundles to keep your salad cool on a buffet table. For each ic% bundle place 3 to 5 ice cubes on a 12-inch sheet of Reynolds Color Plastic Wrap. Bring up the corners of the plastic wrap and twist to hold ice cubes in the bundle. Place the salad bowl in the center of a large casserole dish or tray with sides. Arrange ice bundles on the tray around salad bowl and place on the buffet table.
