Waldorf Salad Nutrition. Crab salad, typically a mixture of crab meat, olives, celery, scallions, lemon juice and mayonnaise -- although recipes vary greatly -- is considered a homestyle dish commonly served as a topping to a bed of lettuce or a hearty sandwich filling.
While quite high in calories and fat, crab salad provides high quality protein and many vitamins and minerals. A 7.8-oz. serving of crab salad contains 298.5 calories as well as 16 g of fat. You can cut down on the fat in this salad significantly by using low fat or nonfat varieties of mayonnaise or replacing the mayonnaise with nonfat yogurt or reduced fat sour cream; nonfat mayonnaise adds no fat to the recipe, while reduced fat sour cream provides 3 g of fat per 2-tbsp. serving.
