Quick Answer: A charcuterie salad is a board, chopped: salami, mozzarella, olives, artichokes and chickpeas over romaine, with a red wine vinaigrette. It takes 20 minutes. Costco doesn't sell one by that name; its closest ready-made salad is the Kirkland Signature Burrata Salad.
Does Costco sell a charcuterie salad?
Not under that name, as of November 1, 2026. The nearest thing in the deli is the Kirkland Signature Burrata Salad with Balsamic Dressing (item #16942): spring mix, grape tomatoes, Kalamata olives, parsley and burrata, about $7.99 a pound, so most containers are around $18 (Parade). It has no salami. To get a true charcuterie salad, add sliced salami at home, or make the full version below with Costco ingredients.
Charcuterie salad recipe
Serves 6 as a side, 4 as a main. Takes 20 minutes.
The salad
- 2 large romaine hearts, chopped (about 8 cups)
- 4 oz dry salami or Genoa salami, cut into thin strips
- 2 oz prosciutto or soppressata, torn (optional)
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella pearls, or a ball cut into cubes
- 1 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup olives (Castelvetrano, Kalamata or a mix), halved
- ½ cup marinated artichokes, chopped
- ⅓ cup pepperoncini, sliced
- ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- ¼ small red onion, sliced very thin
The red wine vinaigrette
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- ½ tsp salt and plenty of black pepper
Steps
- Make the dressing. Shake everything in a jar. Taste it on a lettuce leaf; add a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar if it's flat.
- Prep the toppings. Cut the salami into strips and everything else into bite-size pieces, so every forkful gets a bit of each.
- Marinate the sturdy things. Toss the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, artichokes and peppers with half the dressing. Let them sit 5 to 10 minutes.
- Toss and serve. Add the lettuce, salami, mozzarella and the rest of the dressing. Toss, then shave Parmesan over the top.
Why it works: it uses the same balance as a good board. Salty, fatty salami and creamy mozzarella get cut by the acid in the vinaigrette, pepperoncini and artichokes, and the crisp lettuce and chickpeas add the crunch crackers usually bring.

Our best Costco charcuterie items list ranks the meats and cheeses, and the Costco charcuterie board for 20 uses up the rest of the packs.
Make it your way
- From a leftover board: this is the best use for leftover meat, cheese and pickles. Use them only if the board went back in the fridge within 2 hours. More ideas in what to do with leftover charcuterie.
- Vegetarian: skip the meat, add extra chickpeas and cubes of provolone.
- Keto or low-carb: skip the chickpeas and add more salami and cheese.
- Pasta salad: swap half the lettuce for 8 oz of cooked, cooled short pasta.
- Spicier: use a hot salami like calabrese and add a pinch of chili flakes to the dressing.
Make ahead and storage
- Up to 2 days ahead: keep the chopped lettuce, the toppings and the dressing in separate containers in the fridge.
- Dressed salad: eat it the same day. The lettuce wilts and the salami softens.
- For a party: dress it right before it goes out, and don't leave it out longer than 2 hours.
