My family members have never been big salad people. This is by design—we grew up eating mostly Korean food at home, where vegetables were served individually as banchan rather than tossed all together in a dressing. But, ever since my dad got a membership back in the ’90s, we’ve been big Costco people.
I loved going to our local Costco—helping my mom push the oversized cart, scouting out all the samples, and marveling at the baker’s dozens of giant muffins. It’s also where we discovered salad kits, ones that were legitimately delicious and hearty.
