Popsugar Health & Fitness Costco Al Pastor Salad at Costco Costco Added a Vegan Al Pastor Salad to Its Menu, and "It's HUGE and TASTY!" 20 July 2018 by Perri Konecky PSA-Costco food court’s newest menu item, Al Pastor Salad, is vegetarian friendly 🌱 . . . #vegetarian #costco #costcofood #costcofoodcourt #soymeat #alpastor #alpastorsalad #fakemeat A post shared by @ eats.n.sweets on May 22, 2018 at 7:01pm PDT Costco's food court is the home of many things: there's delicious acai bowls, chicken bake, and now, the newest and one of our favourite additions, the vegan al pastor salad. Hungry shoppers have shared photos of the healthy menu item on Instagram, where their rave reviews have us running to the store to devour this soy-alternative meal. Unlike typical al pastor salads, the Costco version is made with soy protein instead of pork. It's made with plant-based soy protein, chopped romaine lettuce, black beans with fresh vegetables, and "banh mi vegetables" and dressing. While it was initially reported the banh mi dressing was not vegan, it's been fully updated to be on par with the entire vegan meal. Since the salad started hitting stores at the end of last year, the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with one person calling it "HUGE and TASTY." For just $5, many users have been complimenting the generous portion and "mild spiciness." Costco may have sadly removed the beloved Polish hot dogs from its menu, but what it's lacking in beef, it's absolutely making up for in "a ton of meatless crumble on top and a bangin' sauce on the side." The salad ranges from 330-750 calories, depending on if you have the dressing. Read on to see all the hunger-inducing photos of Costco's new al pastor salad, and make sure to check it out for yourself in stores ASAP. Just discovered a plant-based protein al pastor salad at the Costco food court today, and it's HUGE and TASTY! I could only finish about half of it, and I didn't even need the dressing. 🥗 So my meal was less than 200 calories, and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, too. 😊 . . #costco #costcofoodcourt #alpastorsalad #plantbasedprotein #whatapleasantsurprise A post shared by I-Lin Liu (@ilin10) on May 13, 2018 at 11:27am PDT 1 / 12 Costco has a #vegetarian option in their food court!!! Al Pastor salad (swipe to see details)! It's a huge serving & not bad. Kinda like cold soyrizo but bigger chunks. Couldn't tell what the dressing was; kinda tasted like a creamy sweet soy. No one could tell me if it's vegan w/out the dressing. #costco #alpastorsalad A post shared by Lisa (@epvegsnob) on May 4, 2018 at 5:32pm PDT 2 / 12 Lunch slumming at Costco today and trying their new Al Pastor salad. The “protein” is very salty and rich in seasoning. It’s weird for carnivore such as myself to mention protein in the first place. It’s okay I guess, but the dressing is not good...skip it. This certainly doesn’t taste like an Al Pastor anything...even with my low expectations. If it’s possible just find a food truck. . Gotta say not all that jazzed about this new direction kiddos. 😕🤨 . @costco #cheapeats #foodvlog #foodvlogger #alpastor #alpastorsalad #foodporn #foodpornography #foodcourt #costcofoodcourt A post shared by Brian (@b.morrisaz) on Jul 16, 2018 at 1:35pm PDT 3 / 12 This is definitely one of the very few times we were happy to see a salad on the menu. 😂 #youdontwinfriendswithsalad #jk #youdowinfriendswithsalad . . @costco food court has 2 new items on the menu and they're vegan! This is the Al pastor salad. The meat is made from soy and they put it on top of greens and banh mi vegetables. I'm not sure if the dressing was vegan though. It didn't say on the sign and forgot to ask. The salad was pretty good and had a mild spiciness to it. Also, it's a pretty big portion for just $4.99. The other new item is the acai bowl. #costcofoodcourt #vegancostco #alpastor #salad A post shared by Stef & Joe (@ocveganeats) on Jul 12, 2018 at 6:14pm PDT 4 / 12 🥗 #AlPastorSalad 🥗 I’ve been craving more and more greens lately and since my local target has a Costco right next door I decided to get the al pastor salad! Fresh and with a slight kick this salad was the perfect breakfast! @costco please never take this away and possibly make it available to purchase inside and not just the food court! May buy 7 more of these to have lunch for the entire week! And did I mention it’s 🌱💕 #vegan #veganalternative #whatveganseat #veganeats #vegansofinstagram #veganforlife #veganfoodlovers #govegan #crueltyfreefood #veganclub #veganlifestyle #vegano #vegancommunity #vegandish #veganwoman #vegansinLA #veganvibes #veganism #vegana #veganlife #vegangirl #veganwitch #bestofvegan #veganinspo #veganspotlight #vegangrub #poweredbyplants #plantbased #poweredbyveggies A post shared by Witchy Gal (@the.witchy.vegan.gal) on Jul 15, 2018 at 10:02am PDT 5 / 12 Testing out the new vegan options at Costco! They now have an açaí bowl and an Al Pastor Salad. The açaí bowl was very tasty. Not very filling. I really liked the granola. The Al Pastor Salad was very filling and had lots of flavor. The soy protein reminds me of the @louveganjerky but more hydrated. Very tasty overall and I’m very happy with it 😊 A post shared by Jackie | Vegan | College (@myvegandorm) on Jul 14, 2018 at 3:27pm PDT 6 / 12 Sooo soy meat salad? Why not. Didn't taste bad actually but i wish the "meat" was warm 🤔 . . . #alpastorsalad #costcosalad #lunchtime #workflo #foodporn #vegan #veganfood #veganeats A post shared by Moriah (@moriah_izmyname) on Jul 10, 2018 at 4:31pm PDT 7 / 12 Whaaaaat!!! #costco now has #alpastorsalad !!!!!

A ton of meatless crumble on top and a bangin' sauce on the side. I have no idea what's in it, but yummmm.... #alpastorsalad#costco#tummylove#plantbased A post shared by Fingerlickinnutrition (@fingerlickinnutrition) on Jul 12, 2018 at 9:30am PDT 10 / 12 The new Al Pastor salad from @costco is amazing! Unfortunately the dressing isn't vegan so I left that out. That's okay cause Hampton Creek makes delicious vegan salad dressings. #costovegan #alpastorsalad #hamptoncreek #vegan A post shared by Steven Cuzmenco Ⓥ (@stevencuzmenco) on Jul 17, 2018 at 5:55pm PDT 11 / 12 Finally tried the al pastor salad at Costco, the soy protein literally tastes like someone just threw chili powder on it, BUT they’re trying so we’re buying (minus the dressing, of course!) 😜 Learned after the fact that the Açaí Bowls (cups) are vegan as well, but we’ll try those next time. Awesome thing such a big company is doing, but they’ve always acted like they care, so we’ll show our support while buying organic fruits and veggies in bulk 😁 #costcovegan #costco #vegan #alpastor #alpastorsalad #whatveganseat #eatlikeyougiveafuck #salad #veggies #🌱 A post shared by Melissa (@nerdylittlevegan) on Jul 1, 2018 at 3:34pm PDT 12 / 12 CostcoSaladsVeganHealthy LivingVegetarian
