Shame on Costco, its new salad stinks

Costco is sporting a new salad on its food court menu; avoid it like the plague, it simply stinks and is not worth the money being charged for it.

What a sad day for Costco food court customers. The salad there was once not only a meal for one, but possibly two people in its pre-covid heyday.

But since Covid, Costco just like other fast-food purveyors, has been downsizing. This latest version, the rotisserie chicken chef salad for $7.99 in my
Chicago-area Costco, has barely any lettuce. The small container is filled with a dressing packet, likely the bulk of the 840 calories listed for the salad, a packet of hard-boiled egg bits, and a packet of croutons. Take all those off and the container is less than half-full of lettuce as my pictures show.

The sale is not worth the price. Costco broke my heart when it dropped fat-free frozen yogurt from its menu. Then, during the pandemic, it dropped salads all together as well. I think I could live with no salad easier than with this abomination of a salad.

Costco offers diabetes, heart-healthy shopping guide

Regular readers know I’m a big Costco shopper and usually deconstruct a Costco food court salad once a week for a lunch there after my shopping trip.costo-diabetes-book

You can find healthy items there, but like everywhere else, you need to know what to look for and you need to read labels, especially because products come and go at Costco. I’ve written about that before, click here to read that post.

You can download the booklet at this link: cdiabetesshoppingnov21

It covers the basics, so if you’ve researched food and diabetes or heart issues before you might not need it. but if you;re new to the topics, it’s a good first step.
