Vita-Mix Pico De Gallo Salsa

I don't care for spicy salsa, but I really love sauces and having things to dip, so I needed to make experiment a bit. My absolute favorite is Chevy's salsa. This ends up being very close, except not spicy at all. Sometime I might experiment some more and try to get a little closer.

3 tomatoes
1/2 of a small red onion
1/2 small can of mild green chilies, undrained
3 cubes of frozen cilantro
juice from one lemon
a little bit of salt

Quarter the tomatoes and the onion. Put all ingredients into the Vita-Mix in the order listed. Turn on the Vita-Mix to Variable speed 1 and increase to Variable speed 4. Blend for 30 seconds or so, at least until you've seen the onions get sucked down into the blades and everything is ground up. Turn off the Vita-Mix and pour the contents into a wire mesh colander. Let drain for about 5 minutes, swishing out the liquid as necessary. Then transfer into a serving bowl.

One of my favorite ways of using this salsa is making a big salad, adding a dollop of plain greek yogurt and two scoops of salsa on top. Yummy taco salad and much better for you than a big helping of salad dressing.
