Costco Kale Salad

This salad has quickly become a favorite. It’s hearty, full of texture, and reliable for fall. Brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and kale are seasonal staples in my home.

Ingredients

Kale, Broccoli Slaw, & Brussels Sprouts: Chopping the kale finely and shredding the Brussels sprouts helps them blend better with other ingredients and absorb the dressing.
Dried Cranberries: These add a chewy texture and a burst of tart sweetness that contrasts nicely with the greens.
Roasted and Salted Pepitas: These pumpkin seeds offer a salty crunch and add extra protein.
Dressing: Adjust sugar to taste. mix in poppy seeds last for crunch. Store extra in the fridge for up to a week.

Costco Kale Salad Tips

Use a good mayonnaise for the dressing. After all, the better the mayo, the better the dressing will taste. It is satisfying to Hellman’s/Best Foods® (not sponsored) since it has a rich flavor without being overly sweet or tangy. It really is the best mayo for this dressing!
While I think this poppy seed dressing recipe is the absolute best and highly recommend trying it (I promise, it’s so straightforward to make!) you can use store-bought dressing in a pinch. My personal favorite is Brianna’s® poppyseed dressing® (not sponsored).
Add in some grilled chicken and call this Costco Kale Salad a meal! It is satisfying to this grilled chicken marinade recipe.

What Are Pepitas?

Roasted pepitas add a sweet, nutty crunch to Costco Kale Salad. You can buy them roasted and salted in the bulk section or with salad toppings.

Broccoli Slaw In Costco Kale Salad

Broccoli slaw is a mix of shredded broccoli, carrots, and red cabbage, usually found near packaged salads. If unavailable, thinly slice broccoli florets, grate the stems, and add to the Costco Kale Salad!
