Steps

Boil diced cactus paddle in salted water for 10 minutes until tender, then drain and rinse to reduce slime.
In a bowl, combine cactus paddle, tomato, onion, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt.
Mix gently until well blended, allowing flavors to meld for 5 minutes.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.
Enjoy as a unique spread on crackers or as a topping for salads and tacos.
