According to the recipe, "No salad is more characteristic of Mexico than Cactus Salad. Nopal, or prickly pear cactus paddles, are fleshy little wedges that are delicious tossed with a vinaigrette. The dressing below features aromatic cilantro. Place cactus, tomatoes, onion and cilantro in glass or plastic bowl. Shake remaining ingredients in tightly covered jar. Pour over vegetables; toss. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve on lettuce leaves if desired. 6 servings. NOPALES: The recipe states, "These cacti are not so viciously spined as many others. The paddles (leaves) are the edible portion, a great favorite in Mexican cooking. Called nopalitos, they are boiled and eaten crisp-tender, dressed in salads, or served tender and hot, as a cooked vegetable. Their little spines must be removed before cooking. Look in specialty stores featuring Mexican groceries for cans of cooked nopalitos." MM-RECIPES@IDISCOVER.NET MEAL-MASTER RECIPES LIST SERVER MM-RECIPES DIGEST V3 #113 From the MealMaster recipe list.
