Recipe Description

This vibrant and refreshing cactus salad, known as ‘Ensalada de Nopal’, is a staple in Mexican cuisine. With its unique combination of tender cactus pads, ripe tomatoes, crisp onions, and zesty cilantro, this salad is not only a delight to the palate but also a feast for the eyes. Drizzled with a tangy lime dressing, it serves as an excellent side dish or a light main course, perfect for any gathering or a nutritious family meal.

Ingredients

1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Rinse the diced cactus pads under cold water and drain well.
In a large bowl, combine cactus pads, chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and minced jalapeno.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
