1 (30-ounce) jars DONA MARIA® nopalitos, drained and rinsed
1½ cups tomato wedges
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 cup julienned jicama
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh cilantro
Combine nopalitos, tomato wedges, avocado and jicama in a medium serving dish. Combine oil, lime juice, sugar, cumin and salt. Pour over nopalito mixture and mix well. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Chill and serve. Serves 6.
My changes to the recipe are as follows. I did not add the jicama, oil, lime juice, sugar, cumin, avocado, & salt(the nopalitos are salty enough). I chopped the tomatoes instead of wedging them & plated myself a serving with 1 cup of shredded chicken mixed in. Made a great light lunch.
