Being of Mexican descent means I naturally lean toward colorful dishes with bright flavors; this dish is a perfect example.

Chayote squash, a staple vegetable in Mexican cuisine, is a key player in this recipe, with the slices of white and green squash providing contrast in texture and flavor to the vibrant purple-red cabbage.

This side is the perfect accompaniment to a cena especial (special dinner); I especially like to serve it alongside chicken dishes. You’ll love
