Chayote valle special salad

Ingredients

  • 4 Chayotes
  • 3 radishes
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 50 grams (2 ounces) cilantro
  • 8 strawberries
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1/4 Cup olive oil
  • 1/4 Cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. white pepper
  • 1 lemon (juice)

Instructions

1. With the help of a vegetable peeler, cut the chayote lengthwise in thin slices. Put them in a salad bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and add the lemon juice.
2. Then put the chayote slices in boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and let them boil for 2 minutes. Then remove and put them in ice water immediately.
3. Cut the cucumber and the radish the same way (you did with the chayote) but do not boil them. Cut the strawberries in thin slices. Peel the cilantro leaves off the stem.
4. In a salad bowl, put the slices of chayote, the cucumber, the radish and toss gently. In a deep plate, place the mixed salad and use the thin slices of strawberries and the cilantro leaves on top to garnish.
5. In a small bowl put the olive oil, the orange juice, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Pour this dressing over the salad and serve.
