As I’ve been really trying to eat healthier this year, I’m all about making fresh recipes. I made the most delicious fresh tomato salsa recipe which I can’t wait to share with you. However, it can be a pain to keep your produce fresh, especially if you’ve been out of the house all day.
So, before I headed out to my appointments for the day, I made sure to have my fresh vegetables ready to go in Rubbermaid’s new FreshWorks Produce Saver containers.
FreshWorks keeps produce fresher up to 80% longer* than traditional produce packaging. How does it do it? It uses the revolutionary built-in FreshVent™ lid, which naturally regulates the flow of oxygen and CO2, in and out of the container to create the optimal environment so produce stays nearly as fresh as the day it was picked.
The CrispTray™ at the bottom elevates produce away from moisture and promotes proper airflow to help reduce spoilage.
Now that our veggies have been taken care of, onto making the delicious (and healthy) fresh tomato salsa.
Fresh Tomato Salsa
Makes about 3 cups, prep: 20 minutes, chill: 1 hour (super easy recipe for entertaining!)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups finely chopped tomatoes (3 medium)
1 fresh Anaheim
This looks really good. How do you think it would work with a salad?
Thank you! And yes, it would be perfect for salads, Deandrea!
Good vegetable storage is a must as fresh produce is not cheap. I enjoy fresh salsa and love serving it to my boys rather than the stuff in the jars.
I totally agree! And yes, fresh salsa is the best! Thanks for stopping by, Gillian!
I would store salads in these containers. It would save so much time to be able to make a few salads in advance!
I would store different types of salads in the containers and take them to work with me the next day! Leafy greens also don’t seem to last very well in the store packaging so I’d like to try these containers out. 🙂
Yum. I have been looking for new recipes to add some variety in my life. My husband travels for work and my son is from a previous marriage so sometimes I have weeks by myself while they are both away. Quick and easy meals on those days is all I do.
fruit and veggie salad
I would make my chicken pot pie bake with loads of fresh veggies.
I’m surprised that I’ve never made homemade salsa before. I don’t like the store-bought kind, maybe I would like the homemade version a lot better since I can customize it to my taste preferences. Love your recipe!
Must try this and possibly take to a sorority pot luck next week! Perfect!
They seem like clever little mini crisper drawers; I could put cut vegetables for salads or to use in cooking in them.
I am thinking that I would make a fruit salad, vegetables w/brown rice, peas and carrots, a casserole with pasta and cooked vegetables

I would make my favorite salad. It requires avocado, romaine and or kale, strawberries, cucumber, and pine nuts. I have actually gotten my 4 year old to eat it- minus the kale! Love it. Top it with vinaigrette and it’s so GOOD! It’s actually a ‘detox’ salad… but it’s awesome.
I need to get this for my kitchen. Our fruits don’t tend to last long bc they’re not stored properly.
I could eat salsa all day everyday. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
