]]> After looking around Fryhole at the articles, i realized there was something missing… SALADA!! So I went to Mixt Greens today to have a salad for lunch and be the oh-so-healthy-thin person I am strive to be. The line is always painfully long… even at 2:20pm I was waiting. But it is worth it.

There are 3 things I need to point out about Mixt Greens before I reveal my actual lunch selection…

Mixt Greens:

  • uses all biodegradable/compostable utensils and containers
  • the tables inside are made from recycled laundry detergent bottles
  • the food is organic, sustainable and local

Nothing not to like about that!

I was feeling adventurous so today I ordered the Maui Salad instead of my favorite “Bachelor” salad.  The Maui salad is comprised of: butter lettuce, coriander-encrusted seared ahi tuna, avocado, cherry tomatoes, mango, cucumber, red onion, mango citrus vinaigrette topped with crushed macadamia nuts.  That is the exact menu description.  It also comes with a half slice of bread.

So, the salad was good.  When I read the ingredients for the first time I was expecting nice, soft lettuce, with a light, mango-esque dressing… light, healthy with a little salty kick from the macadamias… Well, it was good but it wasn’t really what I was expecting.  Overall, I think the avocado made the salad a bit too mushy for my liking… and I know the crushed macadamias were supposed to be the textural, “crunchy” part of the salad, but even macadamia’s are soft too… coupled with the soft fish and the soft mango… just a bit too mushy for me. The ahi was good and seared perfectly, but I think overall something is a little off, and I’m not sure what kind of suggestion I would have to make it better…oh well.

Aesthetically, all of the salads at Mixt Greens look fantastic, including this one, but I’m not sure I’d order it again.  Also, some people say that the price is a little steep, but honestly, the salads you get are so big (I can rarely finish an entire one unless I’m starving)… so I think there is definitely value in the price, in addition to the other great “green” features of the place and operation.  I also have to mention that the people who work at this location are particularly awesome. 🙂
