Cactus (Nopalitos) Salad- Lesterloon

    I had never had  a nopalitos salad made by this method method and I liked it. This is a rare chance to post the recipes in both English and Spanish. I translated Lesterlloon's original Spanish-language version.   6 cleaned cactus paddles, cut in  julienne or thin slices 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 5 tablespoons Kosher salt 3 medium ripe red tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch dice 8 ounces queso panela or queso blanco, cut into very small dice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil   Place cactus and onion in a bowl with the salt.  Rub thoroughly between your hands for 10 minutes; rinse well, dry with paper towel or a clean cloth and reserve.
