NOPALITO SALSA



Nopalito Salsa image

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.

Provided by Donna Baker

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups canned or bottled nopalitos, rinsed, drained, diced (about one 11-ounce jar) or 1 1/3 cups diced cooked green beans
3/4 cup diced peeled jicama
2 small tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup diced onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 serrano chili or small jalapeño chili, minced
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
