This month, we are featuring chayote squash in all of our special dishes. Chayote originated in central Mexico and prefers warmer climates. It is known commonly as a vegetable pear or a pear squash. It has a mild flavor with a good amount of water content. It takes on the flavors with which it is cooked and is very versatile. This month, we are showing two ways of preparing it – julienned and tossed with a chile vinaigrette in the salad or sliced and fried as a side dish with the chicken entrée. Enjoy this fresh Mexican vegetable this month as we dream of warmer days. Cheers!
