The idea for this salsa comes from the TV show :Diners,Dives and Drive-ins". They were making a burger with sliced tomato,some chopped bacon and then some caramelized onion over the burger and then melted cheese. This is my recipe for BACON SALSA and my photo. This is a great dip with tortilla chips, or over nachos, baked potato, BBQ chicken, steak, brushed on grilled sweet corn, mixed in muffin batter, on your tacos,over enchiladas,etc- you get where I'm going-so go for it!Your going to love it!

    Note: I have made this using 1 cup of real bacon bits and not pulsing. This works very nice-you can add as much bacon bits as you like- and also add some chipolte puree or hot pepper flakes if desired.
