This easy salad packs in flavour and a ton of protein from eggs, bacon and cheese. Lime and bacon fat are the base of this zesty dressing and we top it all off with a zippy chipotle crema. Carb Smart (50 g carbohydrates or less) is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's carbohydrate amount.
