The chayote, also known as mirliton, is a member of the squash family. They’re also referred to as vegetable pear, christophene, cho-cho, huisquil, and guisquil in other parts of the world. Their thin skin is bumpy and pale green, and the crisp flesh is a very pale greenish-white. Its mild flavor adapts well to a variety of uses – raw in salads, stuffed with seafood or meat, or chopped into casseroles, soups or stews.
