    This is seriously the best chicken salad ever.  The lime juice and jalapeño give it the perfect zip, and the smoky bacon adds nothing but flavor.  This chicken salad is perfect on a bed of field greens, it's also great on some toasted whole wheat bread as a sandwich.  This is perfect summer picnic food.
