Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Ycool on March 30, 2014

    I was at this authentic Mexican grocery newly opened in my town and was excited to see that they had cactus paddles. I live no where near a cactus domaine. So, I just grabbed 'em figuring I'd use EYB to find something to do with them. Here we go! The really amazing thing was I had all the other ingredients already for this recipe include the pretty obscure Peruvian peppers in the freezer! (It's a long story how they came to be there -- and they've been there AWHILE.) I liked the salad, but I just had a tough time with the cactus and it's texture. I won't throw it over. It's just my uneducated palate I'm sure. I had some leftover dressing and loved it on a more conventional mixed greens salad the next day.
