Steps:
- Rinse cactus very well and drain. This is an important step, otherwise cactus is slimy. OR Boil fresh cactus slices in water for 5 minutes. Simmer in reduced heat water for 10-15 minutes until cactus is semi-tender. Rinse well and drain. Dice cactus strips. In a medium size-mixing bowl, combine cactus, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and cilantro. Squeeze the juice from both lemons over the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to meld. Fold in shredded cheese and serve.
- Makes 4 1-cup servings
- Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips or eat as is with a spoon!
- Its also great on steak or chicken tacos, and with scrambled eggs.
- Note: I buy fresh cactus at my Farmers Market, and they also carry it in the fresh produce section of my Target.

NOPALITO SALSA
This unusual salsa calls for canned or bottled nopalitos, the stems of the prickly pear cactus. Available in the Mexican section of many supermarkets, they're sometimes labeled natural tender cactus. If you cannot find nopalitos at your local market, simply substitute cooked green beans. Use this tasty salsa as you would any other--with meats, chips and tacos.
