Pickled Chayote Squash With Carrot Salad Recipe
Marinated chayote salad is a beautiful, refreshing, and healthy dish. It’s crunchy, delicious, and quick to prepare, though it requires some time to marinate. Typically, I don’t peel or deseed the chayote from our stores. However, if the skin is overgrown, it should be peeled, and the seed removed. Enjoy this simple flavorful salad!
*A quick tip: When handling chayote, wear gloves or cover your hands with vegetable oil. I learned this the hard way while taking photos for this recipe. The next day, my fingers felt uncomfortable. The juice of the chayote isn’t toxic, but it can cause skin irritation.
