Chayote & Red Cabbage Coleslaw with Blue Cheese

Had this unusual coleslaw at a mom-and-pop restaurant called Jimmie’s in Dania Beach, and decided it was worth reproducing at home. First, who would have thought blue cheese belongs in coleslaw?! Second – chayote? What is chayote? Chayote is a Mexican squash that tastes like a mix of apples of melons (just not really sweet) – but it makes for a great crunchy filler in a salad. So, here is the “recipe”:

Red cabbage and a peeled chayote are sliced carefully with a mandolin slicer.

Green onions (any quantity you desire) are chopped and added to the cabbage and chayote

A dressing is made with half a cup of mayo, half a cup of sour cream, a teaspoon of sugar, the juice of half a lime, som ground pepper, and the juice of half a small yellow onion (you can grate it and squeeze the liquid out of it, or grate it finely and add it as-is to the dressing).

Add the dressing to the salad, add salt to taste and top with blue cheese crumbs

Interesting and different 🙂
