Nopali Salad Recipe

	Darmorrow / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago This is a nice simple salad made the nopali cactus. It's sold here in San Miguel (where I am vacationing) everywhere. How you prepare it depends on whom you ask. Some people say it must be cooked and others say it's great raw. What it's really great ... More Prep:20m Cook:10m Servings:1	Darmorrow

Ingredients

Nopali paddles

onions

tomatoes

cilantro (not too much)

oregano

pepper

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Boil about a cup of large chunks of nopali cactus per person for about 10 minutes. Some people prefer to boil the paddles and then chop them up.

Rinse well.

While the nopalis are cooking chop the onions finely and coarsley chop chunks of tomatoes. Add the amount to suit your taste.

Mix the cooled chunks of nopali with the above.

Add oregano, fresh finely chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Add the balsalmic vinegar and olive oil and toss.

Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and serve.

Some people like to cool it in the refrigerator for an hour or so.

Enjoy. :-)
