Salade Chou Chou
(Chako Salad) Recipe

Origin: Mauritius      Period: Traditional

Ingredients

A native of Mexico, the chako (Sechium edule) is a fairly bland squash and requires fairly 'aggressive' seasoning to give it flavour. It can also be eaten raw, though it is cooked in this recipe.

1kg chako (also known as the Chayote Squash or Vegetable Pear [christophene in French] substitute any summer squash)
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, finely sliced
1 tsp chopped green chillies
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp salt
