A nopal salad will be a great complement to your meals, or a light yet nutritious and practical lunch. This nopal salad recipe is different from the usual, as the ingredients are grilled, that is, roasted on the griddle, along with some spicy habanero chiles. Nopales are an important source of soluble fiber, and when accompanied by beans, they will provide the nutrients your body needs. The combination of flavors and the smokiness from grilling will make them spectacular.
