Fall is finally here, and that means we’ve been tucking in to some of our favorite indulgent comfort foods. And if we’re being honest, there’s often a gap between our veggie-filled summer meals and our new year-new you vitamin-packed January meals once fall rolls on in. But it doesn’t have to be that way! There are so many delicious and nutritious ways to add seasonal produce, whole grains, and flavor to your fall meals, and Costco has actually done it for you this time. Their new Autumn Grain Salad is loaded with a satisfying textural array of wholesome ingredients and comes with a tangy vinaigrette to tie each bite together, and even better? This sturdy pre-made salad makes great lunches, since it doesn’t get soggy like a salad made with lettuce would.
Costco members (sign up here) have been blessed with a lot of mouthwatering munchies this fall, from sweet cinnamon coffee cake bread to savory meatball sub sandwiches, putting this Autumn Grain Salad in good company. Costco’s new salad, which can be found in the Costco deli area, is made with bulgur wheat, mung beans, chickpeas, butternut squash, raisins, currants, and sunflower seeds, all dressed with a tangy Champagne vinaigrette. That means it provides your body with whole grains, plant-based protein, fiber, and plenty of vitamins, which is why it’s such a great mid-day meal.
But how does it taste? Multiple social media users have given the new Costco salad, which is being sold for $4.49/pound, rave reviews. “I tried a sample of this and it’s really good,” shared Instagram user CostcoHype. “It was super delicious and filling,” Costco.So.Obsessed told their followers.
The salad is delicious as a stand-alone vegetarian meal, but you could also enjoy it as a hearty, healthy side dish to your favorite fall comfort foods that might be lacking in nutrients, to help balance things out. Also, are we losing it, or would this be a delicious stuffing for a roasted chicken or stuffed pork chops? We can also imagine adding a scoop, along with some chicken, feta cheese, and a handful of spinach, to a tortilla to make a wrap. However you enjoy it, Costco’s new Autumn Grain Salad is a must-try.
