Fruit salad, or fruit cocktail, or fruit cup, is a tossed mixture of chopped and sliced fruits, sometimes sweetened with syrup or juice. In some parts of the world, fruit macedonia is a synonym.
In the United States, the term fruit salad can refer to anything from a simple mixture of chopped fruits to a more elaborate mixture with vegetables or sweetened foams and gelatins, including Waldorf Salad, Ambrosia Salad, or a Jello salad.
