2-5 hrs
ingredients
6 chayote, peeled and seeded
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
directions
Boil the chayote in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and combine with remaining ingredients in a serving bowl. Toss to combine and chill for at least 2 hours.
NOTE: Chayote, the only edible member of the gourd family, was once a principal food of the Aztecs and Mayas. Also known as merliton and christophene, the skin and seed are edible in addition to the flesh, which can be eaten raw or cooked.
In Brazil, it is used in soups, fritters, souffles, and salads such as this.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
