Macédoine de Légumes

This colorful salad is a staple in the shops of traiteurs — prepared food shops — all over France. We love to make it when we have a batch of homemade mayonnaise at hand. It makes a delightful first course for a French dinner, or a lovely little vegetarian lunch— and it loves to go on a picnic!
