And I buy it almost every time I go.
That’s a lot of salad!
And they’re also easy to bring to work or school.

So when I said thatI do buy salad kits somewhat regularly, I only get them from Costco.
On my lastCostco shopping trip, I noticed two more.
So I decided to buy all four of them and force my family to try them and rate them.

What follows is my family’s very unofficial ranking of the four salad kits sold at my Costco location.
I liked that it came in a two-pack of smaller salad kits, for more eating flexibility.
So, I had high hopes for this one.

Green goddess dressing is iconic.
And I love it.
So when I spied “green goddess” on the packaging, that’s where my mind went.

But it’s not like thatat all.
My daughter tried a bite and said no thank you.
While it was edible, I won’t buy it again.

This salad is also divided into two smaller kits, offering more serving options.
I know this one is a fan favorite; one of our longtime recipe developers even createda versionof it.
But it got mixed reviews at my house.
My daughter and I dug into a bowl and found it way too sweet for our taste buds.
My husband, on the other hand, had no complaints.
(The score above is an average of our rating and his.)
If I bought it again, I’d cut the dressing with some more vinegar to balance the sweetness.
But I probably won’tthe second one is still wilting in my produce drawer.
I wish it was a two-pack, but I’ve discovered a few tricks if I only make half.
The flatbread strips are a little more complicated.
This is a good kit!
We leaned on this salad kit hard when we were remodeling our kitchen.
I would grill sausages or marinated chicken and serve it alongside this kit.
It’s satisfying, flavorful and colorful.
If I bought it every week, my daughter would be thrilledshe simply adores this one!
This kit is only available in a single large size.
While there are two packets of dressing, the other accouterments come only in one packet.
This is probably my favorite Caesar salad kit ever, and it’s another favorite of my daughter’s.
I love the packet of dried herbs that comes with this one; it really amps up the flavor.
If you are a super-hardcore anchovy-in-my-Caesar-salad kind of person, the dressing might be lacking for you.
But that umami flavor is there; it’s just a tad more subtle than some might like.
