SPICY MEXICAN SALAD (VEGAN WITH RAW OPTION)
This originated from an article in Common Ground magazine. If you use sprouted lentils it's 100% raw. To do that you obviously have to plan ahead, so cooked/tinned black beans are a great sub. This salad is super healthy, fresh and tastes great! Serve immediately after preparing, or chill for up to two hours.

ENSALADA DE NOPALITOS (CACTUS SALAD) WITH VEGAN OPTION
This is a delicious recipe using nopales, which are the paddles of the prickly pear cactus. You can use fresh, cooked nopales if you wish, but we just used jarred cactus. We made this for a dinner party and it was a hit! Cooking time is time spent allowing the cactus to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients. There is no actual cooking involved, unless you decide to cook your own fresh cactus. To save time, chop the veggies while you're waiting for the nopales to marinate.

SPICY MEXICAN SALAD
Spicy and not to mention healthy salad with corn and black beans that has no oil in it. I grilled corn on the cob and sliced the corn off the cob and used it instead of canned but canned can be used. I serve it with grilled chicken and a slab of cornbread. Yum! This is best if made the night before.
