One Of Costco's Best Fall Additions Is From Kirkland Signature

Costco releases a number of new items throughout the year to keep customers intrigued. In addition to the warehouse's affordable bulk buys, novel products like tiramisu cheesecake and twice-baked cinnamon croissants can make grocery shopping more exciting. On your next trip, consider adding the Kirkland Signature burrata salad to your cart. Folks who've tasted it consider the fresh, flavorful item one of the best seasonal Costco items of 2026 so far.

The salad hit stores in early September 2026 for the fall season. The roughly 2-pound tray contains a base of mixed spring greens topped with Kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, fresh parsley,  three generous mounds of burrata cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. It's a balanced, eye-catching salad with Mediterranean flair and an intriguing mix of textures.

In case you're unfamiliar with the salad's star, burrata is a fresh Italian cheese with a rich, buttery, milky flavor. The big difference between mozzarella and burrata cheese is how they're made and their texture. Mozzarella is made from fresh milk curds, which are strained, cut, soaked, and kneaded until they're elastic enough to be molded into balls. Burrata is formed from a pouch of mozzarella, then filled with stracciatella, or cream-soaked strands of tender curds, giving the cheese a soft, creamy interior.

According to the nutrition label, Costco's Kirkland Signature burrata salad feeds six people. One serving contains 280 calories, 24 grams of fat, 10 grams of carbs, 1 gram of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein. Price may vary by weight and location, but the crowd-pleasing salad typically costs about $19.59 per tray.

Shoppers who've tasted it swear it's worth a try, especially if you're into making meals in advance. "Bought it multiple times again. It's freaking AWESOME. It works as meal prep for at least three lunch salads," one Reddit reviewer writes. "It was great. Way more in it than I thought; would serve six to eight people easy," says another. "It's amazing, I can't get enough. It's the best salad I have ever eaten," claims a Facebook user.

It's unclear how long this fall launch will be on Costco's shelves, as it is a seasonal release. If you grab one from the deli, consider what to pair it with while you're browsing the warehouse. Costco's rotisserie chicken has a cult following, thanks to its low price of $4.99, size, and inherent convenience. The salad would also be a match with Kirkland Signature's Italian sausage and pasta in wine sauce, one of the best returning Costco deli items of 2026 so far. You can also add prosciutto to the burrata salad for extra protein, or eat it as a side for steak.
