Cactus Salad

Ingredients

Cactus (available at Meijer in a glass jar) rinsed well and chopped

tomatoes chopped

green pepper chopped

onion chopped and lime juice squeezed ((about one lime) on to reduce the onion flavor

cilantro chopped

carrot chopped

pepper to taste

Procedure

The ingredient amounts are provided in the order of most quantity to least. So there should be more cactus than tomatoes etc and about half the amount of onion than cactus. Combine all and eat by scooping the mixture up with tortilla chips.

Special Notes

Served as a cold salad with chips to scoop. Would be great with avocado added and maybe some black beans.
