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.

...and tasty. We tried this with Splenda instead of sugar for the South Beach Diet. Chayote is common in Mexican grocers if you cannot find in regular supermarkets. And not expensive. makes for a nice simple crunchy healthy salad. We've started to eat this regularly.
