If you aren't sure what a chayote is, don't worry! Neither did I until about a month ago. A chayote is a mexican vegetable, that is shaped like a pear, and looks sort of like a squash. It is described as sort of a mix between a cucumber, melon, and squash. It is typically eaten cooked, but it can also be added raw into salads. It has a pretty bland flavor, and tastes good in mexican soups/stew/chile, but also is good sautéed simply in a pan with some oil and seasonings. So if you're feeling daring, get a few and try it out! :)
