Creamy Pico De Gallo Dip

• Prep Time: 35 minutes
• Provided By: The Novice Chef

Ingredients

• Pretzel Crisps® for Serving
• 1 cup Chopped Tomato (About 4-5 Roma Tomatoes)
• 1/3 cup Chopped Red Onion (About Half of a Small Onion)
• 1/4 cup Chopped Cilantro
• 1 Jalapeño, Seeded and Minced
• 1 Garlic Clove, Minced
• Juice From 1 Lime
• 1 (8oz) Block Neufchâtel Cheese (The Skinny Cream Cheese)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, toss together tomato, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and lime juice. Use immediately, or let marinate for a few hours if you have the time. This can also be done as early as the day before.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray. Lay Neufchâtel Cheese on baking dish. Cover with Pico de Gallo. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until warmed throughout. Serve immediately with Pretzel Crisps®.
3. Note: Since the jalapeno is seeded, it adds more heat than flavor. If you like a lot of spice – keep the seeds!
