Dés/Macédoine

Dés describes cutting vegetables (traditionally carrots, turnips, and green beans) and, more recently, fruit into cubes 4 to 5 mm square.

The term macédoine refers to a specific preparation using carrots, turnips, green beans, and peas. The carrots, turnips, and green beans are cut into cubes that correspond to the size of the green peas. A macédoine is served as a cold salad dressed with mayonnaise.
