My little organic garden is over-flowing with yummy, fresh veggies right now! It is getting to the point where I am scrambling to figure out what to do with all my treasures so they don’t go to waste!! I know it is a good problem to have and I am not complaining!!

I had decided to make a fun salsa using up some of the zucchini, summer squash, bell peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes and cilantro that I had gotten out of the garden. I thought I would add some fresh white corn and black beans to the mix that I would pick up at my next trip to Target. I go to Target at least once a week, on Saturdays with my mom & sister, and usually end up there during the week too! I just love Target, don’t you?

Entire line of Green Works Products are available exclusively at Target.

I like to work towards a more natural lifestyle for my family! I love to have a clean home, but would rather be able to do so with products that clean powerfully without harsh chemical fumes or residue. I have been a fan of Green Works Products for a while now and during one of my more recent trips to Target, I was checking them out in the natural section of the cleaning aisle. I picked up a new product that they just came out with for the kitchen (that always gets my attention) called Clorox Green Works Pump ‘N Clean.

Do you know that the entire line of shockingly powerful, all-natural Green Works Products are available exclusively at Target?  They have everything from dishwashing liquid to bathroom cleaner to all-purpose cleaners to laundry detergent and more!! Each one all-natural and eco-friendy but powerful enough to handle any big mess 🙂 Green Works products are made by The Clorox Company and we all know they know how to make things clean!! Want to learn more about Green Works? Check them out on social media too!

Clorox Green Works Pump 'N Clean

Before I get to the recipe, let me tell y’all about my new favorite cleaning product for the kitchen, Clorox Green Works Pump ‘N Clean. It is so convenient and helpful in the kitchen! It helps you clean as you go, while cooking, eliminating that dreaded “big clean-up” at the end of each meal. You can even use it one-handed!! Just press your rag or sponge on the top and press down to dispense the cleaning liquid. It is food safe and safe to use on knives , cutting boards, dishes, utensils, stove tops, countertops, stainless steel, granite, wood, glass, inside refrigerators, microwaves and more! However, this product shouldn’t be used with raw meat or fish.

Clean the cutting board

I always like to give the cutting board a quick clean before I start chopping!!

Clean the knife

And the knife too!!

Thanks to Clorox Green Works Pump ‘N Clean, I have a clean knife and cutting board and now I am ready to make my Honey Lime Mexican Chopped Salsa 🙂

    This post combines two of my favorite things: Green Works and fresh from the garden salsas. I can’t wait to try out your recipe…looks like it would be great to use in fish tacos or nachos.

    Hello fellow organic gardener! It’s so fun to see what growing for dinner! Your salsa looks like a great way to put together some amazing flavors. I too am moving in the direction of less harmful cleaners in our home. It’s all quite the journey.

    • Becky says

      Thanks Donna! It just hit the shelves at Target a couple of weeks ago. Be sure to look in the natural cleaning section on the household cleaning isle. In my store it was on the bottom shelf (boo) and a little hard to find.

  25. Elizabeth O. says

    This sounds like a great product. I love that it’s a green product.

    The salsa looks delicious!

  33. Annemarie Leblanc says

    First of all this recipe looks amazing. I am so going to surprise my family with it. The pump n clean will be convenient with the cleanup. Thanks for sharing!
