Steps:

  1. To remove the spines from the nopal pads, hold them with a fork and, using a sharp knife, scrape the surface until there are no more spines. Do the same on the other side, then trim the edges.
  2. Rinse the pads under water and cut them into strips about 1–2 cm thick, then cut them into thirds lengthwise.
  3. Boil the pads for 20 minutes, drain, and let cool.
  4. In a salad bowl, make the dressing by mixing lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to emulsify. Add the orange quarters.
  5. Add the cooked nopal and diced beets, mix well. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
