Mashu Mashu Salad – Addiction Warning

April 22, 2014 By Jittery Cook 11 Comments

I don’t get to Toronto as often as I’d like. It’s a great city in spite of what you hear about their infamous Mayor Rob Ford. Mashu Mashu Salad is a specialty at the Mashu Mashu Mediterranean Grill in Toronto’s Forest Hill Village. Apparently patrons are suffering an addiction to the Mashu Mashu Salad dressing. Don’t tell Mayor Ford!

Mashu Mashu Salad

Mashu Mashu Salad 

  • 8 mini sweet peppers, lightly brushed with olive oil, roasted whole for 20 minutes in a 400F oven
  • 8 oz mixed leafy greens
  • 12-20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 T toasted pine nuts
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 1/2 T each hemp and chia seeds

In a large bowl, add tomatoes to greens and toss with a little dressing. Form goat cheese into small balls and roll them in the hemp and chia seeds. Garnish salads with goat cheese, peppers and pine nuts. Serves 2-4.

    Too funny– I get Mashu’s Mediterranean platter for takeout all the time. Next time you’re here we’ll go together.

    I can see why it creates an addiction, it’s a beautiful salad. Chia seeds and hemp seeds….love it!

      Thanks! Or you can use sesame and poppy seeds. The original recipe is just crumbled goat cheese but I like to add my own twist.

        I really love hemp seed and chia seeds! I have never used chia in a salad, but regularly use hemp. So nutty and delicious!

    I truly loved that one, because it is filled with interesting facts and it is a kind of easygoing article.
    I spent only a few minutes reading, and due to well-structured text, then I know it
    entirely. Thanks!
