I sliced some nopales in strips. They now look more like string beans.

• Nopales are one of very low calorie vegetables. 100 g of fresh leaves carry just 16 calories. Nonetheless, its modified leaves (paddles) have many vital phytochemicals, fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can immensely benefit health.

I made scrambled eggs with them and made a beautiful dish with lettuce.

I drizzled some ranch dressing on the lettuce and even added croutons.
