Ensalada De Chayote Recipes

ENSALATA DE CHAYOTE (CHAYOTE SALAD)

Steps:

• Using swivel-bladed paring knife, peel chayotes. Split in half and put in kettle with water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to boil and let simmer about 15 minutes or until just tender when pierced with fork. Drain and run briefly under cold water. Drain again. The seeds are edible.
• Cut each half crosswise. Cut the halves lengthwise into quarter-inch-thick slices. There should be five cups or slightly less.
• Put mustard, vinegar and oil in salad bowl. Blend well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add chayotes and remaining ingredients. Blend well and serve cold.

CHAYOTE SALAD

Steps:

• Place chayotes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium-high heat until they are soft and a knife can be inserted easily. This process will take about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the chayotes and how tender they are. Usually, larger chayotes take longer to cook.
• While the chayotes are cooking, mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Before adding the oregano to the dressing, crush the oregano with the tips of your fingers. Add the oregano to the dressing along with the onion and mix. Taste and add more salt if needed, based on your personal taste.
• Once the chayotes are cooked, gently remove from the saucepan using cooking tongs and drain. Now, with the help of a vegetable peeler, remove the peel. Cut the chayote into cubes or slices.
• Place the chayotes on a serving plate and drizzle with the dressing. You can serve this salad either cold or warm. As I mentioned above, you can also add some Queso Fresco cubes to the salad. Enjoy!
