Chojin: Guatemalan Radish Salad
September 19, 2020Chojin is typical salad in Guatemala. This salad is fresh, great to eat during this hot summer. The mint and radishes give to the salad a perfect aroma to the dish. This is a very simple and tasty salad that you can add in your next meal so easily. Perfect to bring to a BBQ party and eat it with grilled meats and beans. I also enjoy eating this salad with a hot tortilla and avocado.
