ENSALADA DE NOPALES, CACTUS SALAD



Ensalada de Nopales, Cactus Salad image

This is an easy, healthy salad that hinges on the young paddles of the prickly pear cactus. If you don't gather them yourself, you can buy them already de-spined, and sometimes already diced, in Latin Markets. One note on this salad: Eat it straight away. It will get a bit slimy if you leave it for a day or two.

Categories     Salad

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 nopales paddles, despined
Fine grain salt
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 white onion, chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
2 serrano or jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano ((regular oregano is fine))
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
1 avocado, diced ((optional))

Steps:

  • Dice the nopales and toss with salt. You want all the cut sides of the nopales to have salt on them. Put them in a colander in the sink and let this drain for 1 hour. When the time has elapsed, rinse the nopales under cold water until they are no longer slimy, which should take maybe 3 to 5 minutes. Pat dry with a kitchen towel put into a large bowl.
  • While the nopales are sitting in the colander, mix the diced onion with a little salt and the lime juice and let them pickle a bit. This takes the harsh edge off the raw onion. If you want, you can add the minced chiles to the lime juice, too.
  • When you're ready, mix all the ingredients together and serve.

ENSALADA DE NOPALITOS (CACTUS SALAD) WITH VEGAN OPTION



Ensalada De Nopalitos (Cactus Salad) With Vegan Option image

This is a delicious recipe using nopales, which are the paddles of the prickly pear cactus. You can use fresh, cooked nopales if you wish, but we just used jarred cactus. We made this for a dinner party and it was a hit! Cooking time is time spent allowing the cactus to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. There is no actual cooking involved, unless you decide to cook your own fresh cactus. To save time, chop the veggies while you're waiting for the nopales to marinate.
