Considerations
- !Average values - mayonnaise is the main factor determining the final calories and fat, and the amount varies widely between recipes

FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends beef salad made with a reduced amount of homemade mayonnaise, or blended with Greek yogurt, for a creamy texture with fewer calories. A 150g serving can be part of a balanced festive meal, especially if you cut the mayonnaise by up to half.
Frequently Asked Questions
A serving of salată de boeuf (150g) has about 360 calories, with 11g protein, 18g carbs, and 27g fat. These are average values, since the amount of mayonnaise used varies significantly between recipes and heavily influences the final calories.
The most effective way is to reduce the amount of mayonnaise or partially replace it with Greek yogurt, which offers a similarly creamy texture but far fewer calories and fat. A lighter version, using half the usual mayonnaise, can cut calories per serving by 30-40% without significantly affecting the taste.
