2 pounds chayotes (also called mirlitons; 4 medium)

Tips:

  • Prepare chayote properly: Before using chayote, peel off its skin and remove the seed in the center. You can use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife for this task.
  • Slice chayote thinly: For a more delicate and enjoyable texture in your salad, slice the chayote into thin strips or rounds.
  • Use fresh hearts of palm: For the best results, use fresh hearts of palm rather than canned ones. Fresh hearts of palm have a crisper texture and a milder flavor.
  • Add your favorite dressing: Feel free to experiment with different dressings to complement the flavors of chayote and hearts of palm. A simple vinaigrette, a creamy avocado dressing, or a tangy citrus dressing are all great options.
