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.

Very fresh tasting and easy to make. I think I didn't get the chayote thin enough with my food processor, maybe need to use a mandolyn which I don't have. I had never tried Chayote before and it's so fresh, more like an apple than a squash. Try it, you'll be surprised. I didn't have any radishes, so just used avocado & chayote.
