Nopales Salad

This refreshing Nopales Salad is made with prickly pear cactus pads, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, dressed with a zesty lime vinaigrette.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Boil the diced nopales in a pot of salted water for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove the slimy texture.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked nopales, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the nopales mixture and toss to combine.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
