Tastes good, but price is high as giraffe horns.

The salad is high as Snoop Dogg, but it tastes great. I can’t justify the $4.98 price per pound being twice the price per pound of sausage and higher than boneless chicken meat. Further more, the pasta is delicious, but it is a cheap weighty ingredient that is increasingly pushing out the kale. They should now call it a pasta salad with a relish of kale. If they would reduce the pasta by two thirds and triple the kale (yea, push it in there), the salad would be a more reasonable offering for that sky high price per pound.

Ignored Consumer Safety

Appears this locally made salad includes Pecorino Romano cheese that was first recalled on Nov 26, 2025 due to Listeria bacteria and upgraded to a class 1 (potential death) recall on Jan 7, 2026. We purchased frequently (nine purchases over this period) and did have a few stomach issues during holidays but was unaware of issue until most recent recall. Unacceptable Sam’s continued to sell and provided no alerts to consumers that purchased.

    Great for Potlucks and as a side Dish!

    This pasta-kale salad was a big hit at the potlucks that I have brought it to! I don’t cook, so picking up this premade salad is easy enough for me to do. I sometimes swing by Sam’s Club just to grad one of the salads to munch on over a weekend. The pasta gives some chewy texture, and the cheese gives a nice tang to the salad. The real stars are the dressing that the salad. White balsamic vinaigrette, and the kale! The kale takes up a lot of the dressing flavor. Love it

    Excellent!

    Love this salad as a base. I buy it pretty much anytime I'm in a Sam's Club. While it's good by itself, it really satisfies and improves the nutritional content when you add some fresh cut fruit or berries to it, and/or walnuts or slivered almonds, etc. I like mine with a mix of cut strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and/or sliced black grapes to lend sweetness/antioxidants, and addition of some type of nuts really brings it all home, and helps it keep you satisfied much longer than just the salad alone will.

    Wonderful salad

    This salad is amazing! I genuinely hope they do not discontinue or change it at all. I wish they offered the "individual" serving sizes more frequently up at the cafe area since my family doesn't enjoy it as much as I do.

    A party favorite ;)

    Hidden gem!

    This is a hidden gem! This salad is absolutely delicious. Love the flavors and textures. The burst of flavor from the sun dried tomatoes is nice as you enjoy knowing this salad of kale and pasta is healthy. If you are looking for a salad to serve to guests, bring to a bbq, this is the one!!

    Fantastic salad

    Delicious salad. I bought it on a whim for an office potluck. It was a big hit. I bought it again for a summer side dish at my home. About a week later, my daughter in law said she was craving it and wanted the recipe. I confessed that it was from Sam’s Club. She told my son that they needed to join to buy it.

    Taste buds smashed

    The kale was a little tuff. But overall it was really really good!! I heated mine up in the microwave for about two and a half to three minutes which kind of tendered at the kale and then I smothered it with Italian dressing and just a little bit of salt and it was gone.

    Great salad

    I love this salad. I purchased it over a month ago before the scare with the salads. And I can't wait till everything is safe again to eat, and the salad comes back.

    Home Cooked Flavor Without the Effort or Mess

    This pasta salad is fresh, zesty, and delicious! I took it to a BBQ and it was a big hit! It’s as good as my home cooked pasta salad and saves me so much time. Put it in a bowl from home and nobody will be able to tell it’s store bought.

    It's a hit and a home run!!

    It's good. My daughter loves this! If I had a complaint I would say that the pieces of kale should be much smaller. smaller. This would make it easier to eat.

    Healthy and Yummy

    Love this salad mix. Whatever dressing they are putting on it is wonderful. It is the only way I think I could eat kale! the pasta is great if you want some carbs for energy. I usually buy this salad every time I am at Sam's.

    This salad surprise will become your favorite

    Nutritious and delicious salad that works as an entree. I love the variety of food textures and tastes. Best way to eat kale. A bit oily for me, so I add some pre-washed dry kale. I buy it for friends, also, who love it just as it is and never tire of it.

    Tasty but I have to modify it.

    The salad is tasty and healthy, but I could certainly do without the pasta in it! I guess they put pasta in it to give it some weight since sold by the pound. I pick it out.

    Smaller package preferred

    Love this option but packaging is too large. Really enjoyed it when it was sold in package half the size of current. Now is not practical for our small family so we buy it only on occasion now.

    90% Stems

    This salad has more stems than greens. Not sure why it isn’t required to remove them, they ruin the entire taste of the salad since they’re so acidic.

    Stop including chopped up stalk

    Used to but this regularly but now it’s full of kale stalks which are like chewing on a tree branch. On raw kale you simply can’t include the stalk. So tired of picking these out of the salad so we finally stopped buying it. We check every week to see if you’ve finally taken our complaints seriously (we have sent directly to manager) but every week they are still in there. Super sad.

    Disappointing Curbside service

    I placed an order for curbside pickup and when I went to pick it up at scheduled time I received a notice that Mediterranean salad was out of stock. I parked the car and went inside and there was a case full. I was so disappointed since I was serving it that night at a dinner party.

    Pasta Salad

    Pasta Salad use to be great then last year they started over loading with parsley it ruined it. This year I spotted one that didn't have an over load of parsley so I purchased it. It was so salty couldn't even eat it. Too bad what use to be great is now awful. Guessing this is prepared and packaged at SAMs.
