CHAYOTE SALAD
Chayote is a Mexican Squash like vegetable that you can usually find in the "cute produce" section of your supermarket. I frequently serve it with Mexican food. It is also great just sliced, sauteed in butter and served hot.

4 each, seed removed, medium diced |
| Carrots |
4 each, peeled, julienned |
| Avocado, ripe |
2 each, diced |

1/2 Teaspoon or to taste |

DIRECTIONS:
