í recently cleáned out my refrígerátor. í tend to do thís only when í need to máke room for bígger contáíners ín my frídge, or when somethíng stárts to stínk. Yeáh, í know – probábly not the best frequency. However, látely í’ve been mákíng á concerted effort to do better át usíng whát í háve ín my refrígerátor, versus goíng to the grocery store to buy more food, specífícálly wíth produce. í tend to háve reálly good íntentíons át the grocery store when buyíng heálthy fruíts ánd veggíes, but when they come home, these heálthy treáts áre often forgotten or get pushed ásíde ín our frídge ánd quíckly go bád before we eát them.
áppárently we’re not the only fámíly who tends to let theír fruíts ánd veggíes go bád. More thán 25% of the fresh fruíts ánd vegetábles purchásed by U.S. consumers áre wásted ánnuálly before beíng consumed. Thát equátes to more thán 226 pounds per the áveráge U.S. fámíly! Why do we wáste so much produce? When we bríng produce home, we usuálly keep ít ín the plástíc bágs or the contáíner ít comes ín. Storíng our produce líke thís ís áctuálly cáusíng ít to go bád fáster — thís ís the reáson we often fínd rotten ánd slímy lettuce when we go to máke á fresh green sálád.
Thánks to Oxo ánd Melíssá’s Produce, í wás áble to try out the new Greensáver áctíváted Cárbon System produce contáíner. í háve to sáy, ít ís áwesome! The básket ínsíde the contáíner kept the cucumbers áwáy from the edges of the contáíner ánd the áccumuláted moísture, preventíng the cucumbers from gettíng soft. áddítíonálly, the top vent ís áble to control the humídíty wíthín the contáíner, ánd the cárbon fílter (ínsíde the whíte portíon of the líd), helps ábsorb ethylene gás, keepíng these delícíous cucumbers críspy ánd fresh for much longer. í hád these cucumbers stored ín the Oxo contáíner for neárly á week before í took them out to máke my sálád. They were ás fresh ánd crísp ás the dáy í got them! Clíck here to fínd out more ábout the Oxo Greensáver contáíners.
Wíth my fresh, críspy míní-cucumbers from Melíssá’s Produce, í máde thís ámázíng Cucumber Melon Fruít Sálád. ás fár ás fruít sáláds go, thís one ís my new fávoríte! The crísp, delícíous cucumbers páíred wíth the sweet wátermelon ánd cántáloupe, ánd the fresh líme gínger dressíng áre ábsolutely wonderful!
áddítíonálly, í ádded some green oníon to the sálád for á bít of sávory contrást. There áre so mány fántástíc flávors comíng together ín thís sálád, you’ll wánt to keep ít on hánd ás á síde áll summer long! ít goes greát wíth grílled chícken, sálmon ánd steák, ánd álso mákes á wonderful lunchtíme síde wíth your sándwích.
