If I'm craving a salad then Mad Greens is the first place that comes to mind! I've been to the location at Tempe Marketplace a few times now and have had nothing but good experiences. While their salads are a bit on the expensive side, I don't mind paying the cost because compared to other places, the salad ingredients they use seem more fresh and crisp.
My go-to is the Cobb salad. It's made up of multiple different ingredients; the egg & chicken make it filling, the bacon gives it crunch, and the mad spice avocado makes it slightly spicy! Since I'm not a fan of blue cheese dressing, I get it with ranch instead. I sometimes substitute bacon for an equally crunch ingredient, croutons, and that tastes really good too. If you're a fan of extra kick in your salads then definitely ask them to mix yours up with some additional mad spice at the end!
The staff is always friendly and they make sure to ask at the beginning if you want to make any substitutions. They also carry Maine Root soda which to me is more delicious than traditional Coke & Pepsi drinks. I'll definitely be back and recommend this place to others. Can't wait for them to open up a location in Chandler!
