Nopales Salad

Nopales Salad

Ingredients

1 Kilo (2.2 lbs.) Nopales (cactus paddles) 1 Onion - halved 4 Cups Water 2 tablespoon Salt 2 Large Tomatoes - chopped 1 Large Onion - chopped 4 Green Chiles - Serrano or Jalapeo - chopped	Advertisements

Preparation
 

If the nopales you buy do not already have the thorns removed, do so carefully. I recommend using gloves and a carrot peeler to do this.
Once you have removed all of the thorns, wash and chop the nopales, place them in a pan with the 4 cups of water, halved onion and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30-45 minutes or until tender.
Drain nopales and combine with remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning adding more salt if necessary.
This dish gets better if you let it sit a few hours in the fridge before serving.
