Costco, the beloved warehouse brand, has a cult-following for some of its popular products. One fan-favorite, the Kirkland Signature basil pesto, has become so beloved that Costco has incorporated it into a new prepared food offering.
Recently, Discovering Costco, an eagle-eyed Instagram fan page, spotted the new product in Costco’s prepared food section: a pesto pasta salad priced at $5.99 per pound. The caption from Discovering Costco gushed about the new item, describing it as a perfect light lunch or side dish to grilled chicken.
The pesto pasta salad features trottole pasta, mozzarella cheese pearls, fresh arugula, slow-roasted tomatoes, and the delicious Kirkland Signature basil pesto. The imported basil from Italy, sunflower oil, sea salt, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, black pepper, Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheese all come together to create a mouth-watering sauce.
Fans of the product expressed their excitement, with one commenter calling it “yummy” and Discovering Costco agreeing that the dish looked fresh. Although the pasta salad may not be available at all Costco locations, a similar option, the Shakers salad from Simply Fresh, offers a caprese variety with rotini pasta, arugula, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and pesto dressing.
Fashion insiders are taking note of this new pasta salad trend, appreciating how it fits into the larger landscape of health-conscious eating choices. Some Instagram commenters praised the salad for its healthy ingredients and delicious taste, while others were not as impressed, citing issues with the pasta being too hard.
As fans of Costco eagerly await the availability of the pesto pasta salad at more locations, they continue to enjoy the similar offerings available in the meantime. The pasta salad’s fresh ingredients and flavorful pesto sauce are sure to make it a popular choice among those looking for a tasty and convenient meal option.
