BLT's and Banana Salsa

Matt and I were majorly starving for brunch today, and BLT's sounded really, really good. We used Lightlife veggie bacon-- which, by the way, is awesome--nice and salty and when fried in a little oil, becomes crispy just like bacon.

On the side is banana salsa. Yes, banana salsa. And here's how to make it:
You need:
*2 ripe bananas, peeled and chopped into small pieces
* 1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped small
* 1/2 large jalapeno pepper, finely minced
* juice of 1 lime
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
* salt and pepper
Mix everything up. Makes enough for 2 people as a side.

This stuff is fantastic. The sweet banana mingles with the spicy jalapeno and the lime and cilantro bring it all together. This is our new favorite! Make this for your next party or cookout and people will think you are genius. You're welcome.

Not a typical brunch, but we had bacon and bananas in the mix so it kind of made sense.
