Having a blog means that I tend to do a lot of cooking for larger groups. I usually show up to any gathering with at least one appetizer or snack for a crowd. Cooking for groups can be a bit of a challenge in my small apartment, so it’s crucial that I can reuse kitchen tools while making different parts of a recipe!

 

Clorox Green Works has a great new product, Pump ‘N Clean, now available in Target. Green Works Pump ‘N Clean can be found in the green section of the cleaning aisle, with the rest of the Clorox Green Works line.

The whole Clorox Green Works line cleans thoroughly and powerfully without using harsh chemicals or leaving any residue. The line includes wipes, dish soaps, detergents, and cleaners that are made with plant- and mineral-based cleaning ingredients. The products are not tested on animals and use environmentally sustainable packaging whenever possible.

From June 14-July 11, you can use the Target Cartwheel app to save 10% on all Green Works products.

 

The Pump ‘N Clean product is both a time saver and a way to keep your kitchen clean and safe. It’s food-safe, so you can use it to clean your knives and cutting boards in between cutting veggies and fruits! (Green Works Pump ‘N Clean is not to be used to clean up after raw meat or raw fish.) To use, just place a dish towel or sponge on top of the Pump ‘N Clean and press down to dispense the liquid. Use the dish towel/sponge to clean your knifes, counters, stove top, whatever needs cleaning! It’s easy to clean are you are cooking, which is a huge time saver!

I wanted to make two different salsas for a friend’s party, a traditional fresh salsa, and a fruit salsa. The traditional salsa is made of fresh tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeno, while the fruit salsa is filled with berries, pineapple, oranges and kiwifruit.  Obviously, mixing the flavors of these two would ruin them both, so it was important that I was able to quickly clean both my knife and my cutting board!

Ingredients:

Fresh Salsa:

  • 3 plum tomatoes, chopped and seeded
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Fruit Salsa:

  •  1/2 cup strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup blueberries, halved
  • 1/4 cup raspberries, quartered
  • 1 medium orange, peeled and chopped
  • 3 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped
  • 1  (8 oz) can unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

To make the traditional fresh salsa, chop and seed your tomatoes, chop your red onion, mince your garlic cloves, remove the seeds and chop your jalapeno and chop your cilantro.

 

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, add the lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. This recipe tastes better the longer it has to sit in the fridge, so it’s a great make ahead recipe for a party!

 

To make the fruit salsa, chop your strawberries, halve the blueberries, quarter the raspberries, peel and chop your orange, peel and chop your kiwifruit, and drain the crushed pineapple.

 

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, add the lemon juice and sugar, and mix to combine. This sweet salsa is a great healthy dessert. Serve with flour tortillas that have been topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar and baked in the oven at 400 degrees until crisp (~5 minutes).

 

I shared how I keep my kitchen clean along with two of my favorite summer recipes. I’d love to hear about your cleaning tips and favorite summer recipes!

  1. I’m really impressed with Clorox’s attempt to be more environmentally friendly. Sure, it’s not the perfect solution, and there will always be those who complain they aren’t doing enough, especially within the Green movement.
