There is no better way to have healthy hair and skin than through food, choosing foods and ingredients that nourish it from the inside out.
This salad is full of great taste and a pleasant twist to a traditional nopal salad.
Ingredients:
Pineapple: good source of vitamin C, good source of fiber
Cilantro: Good source of fiber, rich in magnesium and iron
Green Onions: loaded with vitamin C and vitamin A, and very strong antioxidant properties,
Garlic: could end your hair loss problems because of its high levels of allicin, a sulfur compound similar to that found in onions
Almond: Vitamin E, Omega 6 fatty acids and calcium.
Olive Oil:this mazing fatty acid will nourish and add shine to your hair from the inside out
Vinegar: helps fight against food cravings, skin conditions from eczema to aging brown spots.
Salt: not to much, there is nothing healthy about salt 🙂
Pepper
Let it get green:
Wash and cut the nopal whichever side you like, I like very small pieces, boiled for about 8 min (or till a firm texture) rinse and mix with chopped green onions, cilantro, roasted almond and chopped pineapple.
For the dressing, add to a blender: Olive oil, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper for a smooth consistency. Mix with the salad, decorate, serve and enjoy.
Almendras: Omega 6, Vitamina E, ácidos grasos y calcio

I just love how you write!!! I can’t get cactus elasiy… I can’t grow it in my garden and I can’t even get it at my local grocery (I mean, they don’t even stock cans of ro-tel there, for goodness sakes)! But as usual, your post makes me want to be sitting down at your table right now for a bite of something fabulous… I swear, I’d use my napkin and be polite… thanks for the amazing description, even though it makes me want for something I can’t get!!! Good luck getting that ticket home! I’m looking forward to your cookbook!
