Ensalada de Nopalitos (Cactus Salad)

POINTS value per serving | 2 ?

Ingredients

1/2 cup white onion 1 tbsp fresh cilantro 2 avocados 3 roma tomatoes 1 fresh jalapeño or use jarred for mildness 1 jar nopales/nopalitos (cactus) Juice of 1 lime 3/4 cup Queso Añejo Enchilado (Parmesan is ok)

Instruction

Nopales are now found in the Mexican food aisle in most grocery stores. If you see Goya, La Costena, Embasa or Dona Maria products you’ll for sure find these.

Drain and rinse nopales… the juices are usually a little gooey so this may take a few rinses. Dice and combine the onions, tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños, and nopales. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and lime juice. Add the cheese and mix through.

This can be served alone as a type of salad or is also really good as a dip with tortilla chips. Because of the colors, it’s become a staple for us at Christmas-time.
