1 cup salsa (I use medium hot)
1 cup diced tomato

directions

Blend cream cheese and miracle whip. I use my food processor. (These days I only buy mayonnaise and add 4 tsp of Recipe #267595 additive to make Miracle Whip.) Spread in bottom of 9 inch pie plate.
Spread tomato on top.
Spread salsa on top.
Spread lettuce on top of tomato and salsa.
Finally spread cheese on top.
Refridgerate until serving time.
Serve with low fat taco chips or with pita bread that has been cut into small pieces and toasted under the broiler.
Make ahead: Store blended cheese/miracle whip mixture in sealed container and other ingredients in zip lock bags in the fridge for up to a day ahead. Quickly assemble at serving time.
