Cactus Salad Ensalada de Nopalitos (recipe post-vegan)

[Guest guest]

Not sure if anyone cooks with cactus. This is a wonderful salad.

You can find it in a jar in the Mexican food isle usually. I don't bother using

the fresh cactus leaves, hard to handle and too much work.

1 30 oz. jar nopalitos (cactus, it will be chopped if not rinse & chop)

4 tsp. white vinegar or seasoned vinegar

Pinch of red pepper flakes

 

Place cactus, tomatoes, onion and cilantro in glass or plastic bowl. Shake

vinegar, olive oil and red pepper flakes in a tightly covered jar. Pour over

vegetables and toss.
