Taste-the-Islands-Chayote-Salad-Chef-Irie You can julienne by hand or carefully use a mandolin for this mouthwatering delicious salad. There’s some cutting to get your vegetables nicely sliced. But once they’ve been coated in Chef’s fresh, home made lemony vinaigrette and marinated for just a few minutes, they make for a heavenly side that even lasts for a few days in the fridge! Serve along with Chef Irie’s Picadillo Meatballs or any other meal you choose. Great for vegetarian menus as well.
