Almond Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

This vibrant, herb-forward salad takes the spirit of classic Lebanese fattoush and strips it back to its freshest, most wholesome form. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, peppery radishes, and a generous handful of both parsley and fresh mint come together in a bowl that looks as lively as it tastes. The real star is the tangy sumac-and-lemon dressing — just a quick whisk of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground sumac, and dried mint creates something bright and deeply savory without a single processed ingredient in sight. Traditional fattoush usually includes toasted pita chips, but skipping them here keeps everything clean and compliant while letting the vegetables genuinely shine. There are no nuts, no hidden oils, and no complicated swaps to stress over — every ingredient is exactly what it says it is. A final dusting of sumac over the top before serving adds a gorgeous pop of color and an extra hit of that citrusy, slightly floral tang. Toss it right before you eat and serve it immediately so everything stays crisp and the dressing stays punchy.
