Number Of Ingredients 4

4 chayote squash (about 2 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Quarter squash, and discard inner membranes. Cut each squash quarter lengthwise into four pieces, and transfer to a steamer basket.
  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place basket in saucepan; reduce heat to low so that water simmers. Cover; steam squash until tender and translucent, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool. Toss with oil and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Chill until cold, 1 to 2 hours. Serve salad garnished with parsley leaves, if desired.
