Vegan/Raw Nopales Salad

My goal at the grocery store today was to buy 3 produce items I've never tried. One of these was nopales, or cactus paddles. So I came home and started thinking of ways to eat it raw, and I ended up with my new favorite salad! Here it is folks:

Raw Nopales and Corn Salad

1 Nopales paddle, cleaned
1 quarter of a red onion, diced
1 quarter of a jicama, diced
1 small ear of corn, scraped
Half a diced clove of garlic
Cilantro, as much as you like
Juice of half a lemon
Cayenne pepper and sea salt to taste

Toss all ingredients into a container and shake, add more or less of each ingredient to your liking. This recipe is for 1 serving, but I only made it that way because I like to cut my vegetables fresh for every meal. Enjoy!

    I like that idea a lot (buying 3 new produce items)! I'll try it next time I'm at the grocery. And your salad sounds yummy, but I don't think my store has nopales.
