  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Have ready a 9-inch by 7-inch by 2 1/2-inch (11 cup) rectangular baking dish (a clear dish will show off the layers nicely). Spread the hummus evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  • Red onion layer. Put the onions into a colander or strainer and rinse well under cool water. Shake dry and put into a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Arrange in a single layer over the hummus in the dish.
  • Sour cream layer. Mix the sour cream with1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread in a layer over the onions.
  • Tomato layer. Pat the tomatoes dry and mix with 1 teaspoon salt. Arrange tomatoes over sour cream.
  • Arugula guacamole layer. Scoop the avocado pulp out into a medium-size bowl. Coarsely mash with a fork. Stir in salsa, arugula, remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and about 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Gently spread the arugula guacamole over the tomatoes. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
  • Refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving. Serve with thick tortilla chips, sliced jícama or sliced cucumbers.
