Transfer to a medium bowl Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts.
Scoop the cheese mixture into the center of a baking dish, such as a decorative 9\" pie plate, and form into a 5\" disk.
Spoon te salsa over and around the cheese.
Bake until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve as a dip or a spread with tortilla chips or other crisps*Note: if the salsa is very chunky, you may want to strain it or chop it in a food processor so the pieces won't fall off the chips.
Also, really good if the chips are heated!
