Chayote Squash Salad With Parsley Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a deep pot.
• Put the chayote squash into the boiling water and boil for 10 minutes; do not overcook.
• Drain in a colander.
• Slice the squash and place in a salad bowl with garlic, onion, salt, pepper, parsley, oil and vinegar.
• Mix well and refrigerate before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Combine squash and broth in a medium saucepan. Cover, and place over medium-low heat. Simmer until squash is tender, about 12 minutes, adding more broth if pan becomes dry.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in small skillet over low heat. Add onion, and saute until translucent. Remove from heat, and add parsley.
• Add onion mixture and cream to cooked squash and its remaining liquid. Toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return to medium heat just until cream is bubbling and squash is reheated. Serve immediately.
