Now that the weather is a touch warmer, we can’t be dealing with stodgy sandwiches.

Summer is a season for salads, but this time around, the iceberg and tomato in a tupperware container just won’t cut it.

We want our salads crisp and fresh and fancy, with all kinds of extra ingredients to jazz up the flavour.

Here are ten Cork spots that have just the thing:
