Nopalito Salad

SERVES 4 | 15 MINUTES (PLUS 1 HOUR FOR SALTING) | GF, DF, V

This light, refreshing side dish is our updated version of Grandma Campos’s fried nopales, or cactus paddles. It’s a great way to add a little green to your plate. In fact, you could even say that it makes a fan-cactus addition to any meal. If you can’t find fresh nopales paddles, you can use canned or jarred nopales; just skip the cooking steps and go straight to assembling the salad.

NOTE: To keep your nopales a nice, bright green color, try the salting method: Place your nopales paddles on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt on each side of the paddles, a total of 2 teaspoons of salt per nopal. Set aside until the nopales have released some of their moisture and slime, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once the nopales have released moisture and liquid has accumulated around them, rub the salt against the nopales with your fingers. Place them under running water to rinse off excess salt. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and finely dice the nopales. Proceed with the rest of the recipe.
