A new Rotisserie Chicken Chef Salad at Costco's food court has become a focal point for its high protein content, offering 59 grams. This item, priced at $7.99, also contains 840 calories, prompting a closer look from nutrition experts. A registered dietitian nutritionist pointed out that while the salad features good protein sources like chicken and eggs, along with vegetables, its overall calorie count could be substantial for a single meal.
This salad is not the only high-protein option available at Costco. The Chicken Caesar Salad provides 58 grams of protein, and the Chicken Bake offers 53 grams. Customer reactions to the new chef salad have been divided. Some patrons have criticized the salad's proportions and saltiness, while others have praised its flavor and unique peppery ranch dressing.
