How many calories are in Olivier salad: macros table

How many calories in Olivier per 100 grams

On average, a classic Olivier with boiled sausage and mayonnaise has roughly 170–220 kcal per 100 grams. A version with boiled meat (chicken, beef) is usually a bit lighter — around 150–190 kcal per 100 grams. The main multiplier is mayonnaise: the more generous the dressing, the higher the calories, since mayonnaise alone is about 600–680 kcal per 100 grams.

These are ballpark figures, not exact values: everyone has their own recipe, amount of mayonnaise and fattiness of meat, so the real calories of your Olivier may differ noticeably.

Olivier macros table (approximate)

Approximate values for a classic Olivier with sausage and a moderate amount of mayonnaise:

• per 100 g: ≈195 kcal, protein ≈6 g, fat ≈15 g, carbs ≈8 g;
• a couple of spoons, 100 g: ≈195 kcal;
• a small serving of 150 g: ≈290 kcal;
• a standard plate of 200 g: ≈390 kcal;
• a large serving of 300 g: ≈580–600 kcal.

What the calories depend on

The main factors that move the number up or down:

• mayonnaise — the main source of calories; the more dressing, the higher the count;
• the meat — boiled sausage and fatty cuts are heavier than boiled chicken or beef;
• ratio of vegetables — more pickles, peas and carrots make a serving lighter per gram;
• dressing swap — Greek yogurt or sour cream noticeably lower the calories;
• serving size — a heaped plate easily becomes 250–300 g.

How to make Olivier lighter

If you want to cut calories, simple swaps help: replace part of the mayonnaise with thick unsweetened yogurt or sour cream, use boiled chicken or beef instead of sausage, add a bit more pickles and green peas, and serve a more modest portion.

Homemade Olivier is almost always lighter than store-bought or restaurant versions: you control the amount of mayonnaise and the fattiness of the meat.

How to measure your own serving

Since the recipe and serving size differ for everyone, the most accurate numbers come from your actual plate. Photograph your Olivier in Calvero: the service estimates calories and macros from the picture, and if something is off with the meat or dressing, correct it in words (“with chicken”, “on yogurt”, “large serving”) and the count updates.
