Used cayenne because I didn't have any red pepper flakes, and did the onion and lime juice as per other reviews. I cooked some chicken in the olive oil first to make it more of a lunch, and I would make it like that again and serve it over spaghetti or butterfly pasta to make it a full dinner meal. Very yummy with a spicy kick!

YUM! I received some chayote squash in our church's Angel Food Menu Latin Veggie box, and didn't have the first clue what to do with them - this recipe was perfect! Had everything on hand, even some limes to swap out for the vinegar. SO easy, and SO good. Even my little ones tried/ate a few bites (the red pepper flakes were quite spicy, though - might want to leave them out if you're trying to broad your children's vegetable horizon)

Made a few of my own personal tweeks: - added 1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano - added 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin - added 5 or 6 stuffed spanish olives - let marinate with 2 bay leaves - used sherry vinegar instead of wine vinegar

This is soooo good!!! Made as recipe is, except, per other reviewer, traded vinegar for lime juice- oooh soo tasty! this tastes like a gourmet side dish you'd get at a nice restaurant. I loved it! it was a bit spicy with a 1/4 teaspoon, but again, Very Tasty!!! thanks!!! Chayote is soo low calories too that i didn't feel bad with the oil. ;) yum

Loved it! Subsituted lime juice for the red wine vinegar. I used ground red pepper to give it some bite. This will become a regular side at our place.

This was very good but I did change the recipe a bit. I had just returned from Guatemala and knew they never used vinegar but mostly lime juice. I replace the vinegar with lime juice. I also used 1/2 teas. of red pepper flakes and added 1/4 of a chopped onion. It had just enough bite to be great and the lime juice worked very well. It was a hit, will make it again. It makes a different vegetab;e side dish.

This is good. I love chayote, but this was my first time cooking it. I ended up needing some more cooking time - probably about 15 inutes total. Thanks for the recipe!

Great simple recipe. I added thin sliced onion like another reviewer suggested, and it was great. I used a mirin/rice wine vinegar combo for a little asian twist.

I liked it. I didn't love it, but I'd never used chayote for anything, so I'm thankful for the new side dish. I think with a little more seasoning it'll be one of my favorites.

I really enjoyed this dish although my husband didn't care for it much at all. I did double the amount of vinegar, salt and sugar and cooked for more than the suggested time so that they were a little softer. Next time I think I'll add a thinly slice onion. Thanks for the recipe.
