Chayote Or Mirliton Salad

1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring about 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Peel chayotes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (the soft seed is edible). Add diced chayotes to water; simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, then shock in ice water and drain again.

2. Gently combine cooked chayote jalapeno, roasted peppers, cheese, avocado, and green onions in a large bowl.

3. Mix vinegar, oil, and cilantro, then to the mixed vegetables and cheese. Mix gently. Season to taste.
