I had high hopes since I like all the ingredients in the recipe. I was disappointed. The radishes were too strong for the salad. After eating some of it I realized it was missing something so I added fresh parsley. It helped but not enough to where I'd make it again.

Nice and refreshing. The radishes pick it up. I always wondered about those Chayotes at the store and how they can be used.

I've made this recipe several times. It's light and refreshing and a great change of pace. The chayote is crisp and is a perfect compliment to the creamy avocado, radish and lime flavors.
