Traditional Olivier salad with potatoes, carrots and boiled sausage, seasoned with mayonnaise, weighs on average 172 kcal per 100 g.
Of course, the calorie content only increases as the portion size increases.
If you are not ready to settle for one spoonful of your favorite salad eaten at the holiday table, try making the salad less caloric.
You can be sure that if you follow the advice in this article, replacing some ingredients will have virtually no effect on the taste of the dish.
Let's start with sausage - it is best to use boiled meat instead of it in the salad. This can be chicken breast or lean beef.
If you eat Olivier salad with pickled cucumbers, replace them with lightly salted ones - their calorie content is almost two times lower.
To reduce the number of calories coming from the sauce, dress your salad with a light mayonnaise, which has a more natural composition, or a homemade sauce made from yogurt, mustard and soy sauce.
And finally: when choosing canned peas, look for a mark on the package confirming that it does not contain sugar. Instead of canned peas, you can use fresh frozen peas, stewed until done.
