This lively combination is
inspired by one of my favorite
Mexican salads, which is made with
diced cooked cactus paddles
(nopales), onion, tomato and
avocado Cactus paddles are gooey,
like okra, so I figured okra could
stand in for nopales in this salad
The result is prettier and, I
think, tastier -- and certainly
easier to work with than cactus
