Ribbons of fl axen sunshine streaking the streets, coff ee-clad catch-up walks and the prospect of seaward sojourns — spring’s arrival carries a distinctly invigorating kick. While we’re not quite free from the chains of sweater weather, we’re certainly welcoming the fi rst rumblings of change. Beyond the weather, the true trademark of a season is often found in its refreshments. As meals begin to creep outdoors — sweater still optional — an expert chef reveals healthy summer salad ideas to make the most of seasonal produce. And those who like pairing cocktails with their al fresco bites will fi nd plenty of inspiration for fruity, refreshing drinks. Don’t feel like donning an apron? We’ve rounded up London’s best spots for outdoor dining, perfect for enjoying the sun without lifting a fi nger.
