For those hesitant to venture beyond familiar foods, Costco’s latest ready-to-eat salad might be the dish that changes everything.
After attending the Omni Amelia Island’s 9th Annual Fish to Fork event, one food writer shared a personal revelation: they’re a pickier eater than they realized. Despite once believing their love of fruits and vegetables made them an adventurous foodie, the weekend event challenged that belief—and their taste buds.
The culinary showcase featured dishes like caviar with crème fraîche, a goat cheese sandwich, and a strawberry burrata salad. Even pizza dipped in ranch dressing—once off-limits—made the menu. “It was an out-of-body experience,” they joked. But more importantly, the experience opened the door to reevaluating long-held opinions on simple dishes, including salads.
Traditionally, they stuck to leafy greens with vinaigrette and avoided creamy dressings like ranch or Caesar. However, a spring salad with goat cheese at the event stood out, proving that stepping outside one’s comfort zone can be worth it.
Enter Costco’s new Broccoli Salad, discovered by @costcohotfinds on social media. This grab-and-go option has quickly become a fan favorite, and for good reason. The colorful mix includes broccoli, kale, cabbage, asiago cheese, and dried cranberries, with walnuts and two packets of poppy seed dressing on the side. Priced at $6.49 per pound, a typical two-cup serving for two people comes to just under $13.
Shoppers are raving. “We just had this and it was amazing!” said one Costco fan. “It’s delicious!” added another.
With rave reviews and a fresh take on everyday ingredients, Costco’s latest salad might be the perfect gateway for anyone looking to explore new flavors—especially those who didn’t think they were ready.
