Step by step recipe

1	Prepare 400 g carrot and 400 g turnips. Cut into small dice about 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) across.
2	Cut 300 g green beans into 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) chunks.
3	If you are using fresh peas, shell them to give 300 g peas, otherwise, use this weight of frozen peas.
4	Bring a pan of salted water to the boil (1 tablespoon of coarse salt per liter of water). Tip in the diced carrots. Leave to cook until tender.
5	Remove the carrots with skimmer or araignée (spider) and drain in a strainer or colander.
6	Cook and drain the other vegetables in turn the same way: turnips, green beans and peas. Note: do not throw the cooking water away, as this is now a very good vegetable stock.
7	It is important to drain the vegetables throroughly. I advise you to give them a whirl, each in turn, in a salad spinner...
8	... then leave them to wait on a tea towel or on absorbant paper.
9	Finish your macédoine by mixing all the vegetables together with 100 g mayonnaise.

Remarks

A macédoine (without mayonnaise) can also be use as a garnish or stuffing, in a fish or papillote, for example.
