How many calories are in Mimosa salad
100 g of Mimosa salad contain about 200 kcal: 8 g of protein, 16.5 g of fat and 5.2 g of carbs. A 150 g serving is 300 kcal. It is close to Olivier and Shuba in calories but has more protein thanks to the fish and extra eggs.
Which fish to choose
Classic Mimosa uses saury or mackerel in oil: they are fatty and rich in omega-3, but also higher in calories. Pink salmon or tuna in their own juice make the salad about 30 kcal lighter per serving. Don't add the oil from the can - that's an extra 40–60 kcal.
How to make Mimosa lighter
As with other layered salads, mayonnaise is the main lever. Replacing half of it with plain yogurt saves 55 kcal per serving, and a mix of 15% sour cream and mustard saves even more. Grated cheese in some recipes adds 40 kcal. Make the dressing layers thinner and use more vegetables.
Mimosa on a diet
Mimosa is one of the most protein-rich festive starters, and you can keep it even in a calorie deficit. Take a 100–150 g serving, add fresh vegetables and skip the second mayonnaise salad. The fish and eggs provide vitamin D, B12 and choline, a rare combination at a festive table.
How to count your portion
The amount of mayonnaise and the type of fish change Mimosa's calories by 50–80 kcal per 100 g. If you make it yourself, weigh the mayo. If the salad is already on your plate, take a photo in MyFoodMate AI and the app will estimate the serving.
