Macedonia or macédoine is a French culinary[1] term referring to a salad composed of small pieces of fruit or vegetables. Fruit Macedonia is a fresh fruit salad and is a common dessert in Greece, Romania, Spain,[2] France, Italy and South America. Vegetable Macedonia or Macédoine de légumes nowadays is usually a cold salad or hors d'oeuvre of diced vegetables, in France often including red beans. Macédoine de légumes is also a hot vegetable dish consisting of the same vegetables served with butter.[3] Prepared macédoine, a mixture of diced vegetables and often peas, is often sold canned or frozen.[4] It is sometimes mixed with mayonnaise combined with aspic stock, making it similar to Russian salad.
