How To Make THE BEST Ensalada de Nopales | Mexican Cactus Salad | Tostadas de Nopales A La Mexicana
Video Overview & Insights
ensalada de nopales is a spring and summer staple in my family— i hope you try it and love it as much as we do!
Great recipe! i love nopales and I have been trying to re create my mom’s recipe and I think this is the closest to it. Also I think you don’t like cutting the tomatoes because the knife needs just a tad sharpening and cut the tomatoes in 4 and just lay them flat with the skin side down and filet (in a sense) the seeds

Try cutting the tomatoes with a “bread knife” the done with the many spikes, it’s easier.
TO COOK THE NOPALES
8 paddles of nopales (you can use canned or jarred nopales if you really want to skip the cooking process but i’ve never made it like that)
Trust me add a slash of acv and some dried oregano ❤
1 whole onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
salt to taste (use a generous amount)
TO MAKE THE SALAD
Love this recipe…❤😊❤❤❤!!! Margarita
2 cups cooked nopales
1/2 onion, finely chopped
I think wat u really hate is ur knife its like chopping with a stick
2 limes (more if needed)
1 serrano pepper
💛Grew up eating it without the lime but now I like it this way the best! ( we can't eat too much spice so we left it out and it still was great!)
3 roma tomatoes
1/2 bunch cilantro
I lost my recipe for this salad! So happy to find yours! Mouth mouth is watering!
salt to taste

We Asians can’t live without ramyeon. Putting this into spicy Shin n it tastes like heaven

Turn the sliced tomatoes with skin side down. It’s easier to slice through the flesh first. 😊

I think it is annoying because your knife is not sharp enough. Change your knife and you will see the difference .

i just want this to be a space where i can fully express myself and confidently be who i am and maybe hopefully that inspires at least one person watching to do the same. idk. i’m on a journey and so i’m sharing it with the world and that’s all. lol hope you come along for the ride. :)
I only had the jarred nopales but jarred is better than none. Thank you for the recipe.

Tomatoes are weird to cut lol me too
@jennifervidales7781Cut the tomatoes the other way (from the meat side) you’ll see a BIG DIFFERENCE in cutting it!
@lanilopez1177You have to cut the tomatoes 🍅 on the meat side! Chef Don Julio
@donjulio8807I see your knife is dull
Maybe use a small knife or a small steak knife or bread knife
I love the idea of soaking the onions in lime juice!
@nicoleramirez1491I definitely i love if i am looking for healthy recipes. Thanks for sharing.
