Chayote Squash Side Dish
Tender-crisp chayote is sautéed with garlic and a hint of sugar, then sparked with red pepper flakes and a splash of red wine vinegar for a bright, tangy finish. This Chayote Squash Side Dish delivers a lightly sweet, peppery bite with a refreshing acidity that pairs well with grilled meats or hearty mains. Serve warm for a quick Southern-accented accompaniment that tastes fresh and lively.
