Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time to swap microwaved soup al desko for lunch hour lettuce in the park. Luckily there’s a load of new spring menus to help you embrace your salad days.
LEON’s courgetti and kale salad
Neither spiralised veg or kale are going anywhere, so you’d better suck it up. Pretty easy to do when it’s freshly made to order, covered with pesto and feta and only sets you back 330 calories.
Info: £4.45, leonrestaurants.co.uk
Cojean’s yellow superfood salad
Beans ’n’ nuts o’clock at Parisian export Cojean, where you can’t move for almonds, broad beans and some dangerously moreish red lentil houmus.
Info: £4.95, cojean.co.uk
Crussh mahi mahi sashimi salad pot
Sun’s out, guns out, which means pumping up your protein game. Crussh’s new Power Up menu has gone all Japanese with this ridiculously citrussy raw mahi-mahi edamame pot: 9.8g of protein for just 75 calories.
Info: £3.65, crussh.com
Bel-Air’s za’atar cauliflower salad
As everyone knows, 2016 is the Year of the Cauliflower. And by roasting it in Levantine spices and pairing it with mint, pomegranate and freekeh.

Pret A Manger’s poke pot
Need a change from sushi? Nab some proper trendy poke, the Hawaiian version tipped to oust all other raw fish.
