Spanish eatery offers fresh summer dishes

Alex Sanchez, the Spanish chef and owner of Niajo, has been living in Beijing for more than 11 years, and he knows that the capital's high summer temperatures demand a change in the way people eat.

He's designed a new summer a la carte menu of about 45 dishes with appetizing and healthy recipes.

The avocado salad with shrimp, corn, tomato and feta cheese is such a delight to the eyes that I almost feel guilty when I destroy the carefully arranged presentation of colorful ingredients to eat them.
