It's usually served hot or cold alongside meats.
Here in Algeria, we like to serve it during the summer and also during Ramadan, as it's easily portable and the longer it sits better the taste.
➜ To note, Salad Macédoine was brought over by the Pied Noir French to Algeria. Macédoine or Macedonia in English is a country near Greece that was formed from smaller states conquered by Alexander the Great and united together. During the 19th century when this salad was brought over, the country was a colourful mix of different peoples from different regions, hence the salad being so small and colourful was given this name.
The basic recipe for this salad is potatoes, carrots, peas + mayo but it's very versatile. You can add anything you like to liven up the colour and taste.
In Algeria, this salad is often made with cooked rice as well instead of the potatoes.
I did have corn I wanted to use up, so I added that instead. You can omit if you like. In Hungary, we often made this salad using dill not parsley and add cold cuts. I purposely left a wide range for mayonnaise. If you like a drier salad, use less. If you like a more "wet" salad use more mayo or add a little pickle juice to loosen it up.
