Welcome

Let it be known that this blog is dedicated to the proposition that a day at Costco is more than shopping: It’s an event, a lifestyle, a strategic quest for a lunch gratis. Audience comments – and personal tips and advice – are eagerly solicited. This is an interactive site – use it!

Tropical Chicken and Avocado Salad



Another great warm weather recipe from Costco Connection, light and citrusy, a perfect pairing with dry white wine or maybe ice cold Korbel Brut champagne. Again, you can thank Tina for sharing this. She typed it up while I was working.

Enjoy, and stay tuned for a Costco update. We’re going on a free sample safari this afternoon. Gotta love getting a day off on Friday!

1 fully ripe Haas Avocado
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups of mixed salad green
2 grilled and sliced Kirkland boneless chicken breasts
4 slices fresh pineapple
1 large tomato, cut into thin wedges
½ cup of thinly sliced red onion

Cut avocado in half lengthwise around pit, twist to separate halves. With spoon, scoop out the flesh and slice.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Divide greens among 4 plates. Top with avocado, chicken, pineapple, tomato and onion.

Drizzle with half the dressing.

Serve salads with remaining dressing on the side. Serves 4, or if you wish this is a perfect dish for 2 as a main dish salad.
