Mom VDG's Incredible (and easy!) Salsa

My mother-in-law came up with this wonderful recipe for a fresh-tasting salsa without all the cutting, chopping, and prep time.  It's the best!

Here are the ingredients:

Your favorite store-bought salsa (I use Pace brand, medium heat)
Fresh pico de gallo (the refrigerated kind found in the salad section of the grocery store)
Cilantro

Basically, you make the salsa to your individual taste and how much salsa you need (it only keeps in the fridge for a day or two).  Roughly, the measurements are 1 cup salsa to 1-2 big spoonfuls of pico to 1 T. cilantro.  Put ingredients in the blender, and blend for just a couple seconds (just 'til cilantro is chopped up).   You still want chunks of tomato, onion, etc. in the salsa. You can always add a little more pico de gallo if you blended it too much.  

Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips!  Thanks Mom!
