Steps:
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt using side of a large heavy knife. Whisk together lime juice, oil, and garlic paste in a large bowl, then add onion, tossing to coat.
- Halve chayotes lengthwise, then peel with a vegetable peeler and scoop out pits with a spoon. Cut chayotes crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices, then halve slices lengthwise to make 1/3-inch-thick sticks (sticks will not be uniform).
- Cook chayotes in a 4- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then, while still hot, toss with dressing. Cool to room temperature.
- Cut hearts of palm diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then add to chayote mixture along with celery, parsley, cilantro, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently toss.

[email protected]This salad is a great way to use up leftover chayote. I also added some shredded chicken for extra protein, and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[email protected]Meh, not my favorite. I found the chayote to be a bit bland and the dressing was too tangy for my taste.
Mark Parker
[email protected]I was skeptical at first, but this salad turned out to be a real winner. The chayote and hearts of palm are surprisingly complementary, and the dressing really brings it all together. I'll definitely be making this again.
