Costco food court item packs more protein than anything else on the menu, but there's a catch

One of Costco's newer food court additions is packing more protein than anything else on the menu, but a dietitian says shoppers should look beyond the eye-catching number.

The Rotisserie Chicken Chef Salad, which Costco highlighted among its new food court offerings this year, contains 59 grams of protein along with 840 calories.

The $7.99 salad includes rotisserie chicken, hard-boiled eggs, bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese on a bed of romaine lettuce, along with tomatoes and creamy peppercorn ranch dressing.
