In Mexico and other parts of the world, chayote is usually chopped and cooked until tender. But you can skip the cooking and toss it thinly sliced with avocado, radish and your favorite dressing for a crisp refreshing salad.

Directions

  1. Try chayote (chi-OH-tay), a mild Mexican squash that looks like a green pear: Whisk the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch each of sugar and salt in a bowl. Thinly slice 1 peeled chayote, 1 avocado and 4 radishes; gently toss with the dressing.
