Ingredients

For Salad

  • 2 chayote squash
  • 6 slices bacon (about 1/2 of a 375g package)
  • 1/2 cup red onion (minced)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

For Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Cook bacon* and cut into bite sized pieces.
  • Mince onion and put it in a bowl of cool water to reduce the onion bite. Set aside for a few minutes. Drain before using and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Combine dressing ingredients and set aside.
  • Dice chayote into bite sized pieces, shred cheese.
  • Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing and stir well to combine.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy! :)

Notes

*I like to cook bacon in the microwave with a dish like this (it's very hands-off and not messy at all).
