Everything about Fruit Salad totally explained
Fruit salad (also called
Macedonia) is a dish consisting of various kinds of
fruit, served either in their own juices or a
syrup. In different forms fruit salad can be served as an

dessert. When served as an appetizer or as a dessert, a fruit salad is also known as a

However, there are a number of home

sour cream (such as in
ambrosia),
yogurt or even
mustard as the primary sauce
ingredient. An ever-popular variation also uses whipped cream mixed in with many varieties of fruits (usually a mixture of berries), and also often include miniature marshmallows.
Rojak, a
Malaysian fruit salad, uses a spicy sauce with peanuts and shrimp paste.
