BHA & BHT Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

This bright, herb-forward salad pulls from the classic Lebanese fattoush tradition, swapping out the usual toasted pita for a clean, grain-free bowl that's every bit as satisfying. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes come together with a generous handful of fresh parsley and torn mint leaves — it's colorful, crunchy, and genuinely refreshing. The dressing is where the magic happens: a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac creates something tangy and aromatic that coats every leaf beautifully. Sumac is the unsung hero here, lending that distinctive citrusy depth without any additives or preservatives to worry about. Every single ingredient in this recipe is whole and unprocessed, which means no hidden synthetic antioxidants sneaking in through packaged dressings or flavored oils — just real food doing all the work. It comes together in minutes and is best served immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the herbs stay vibrant. A final dusting of sumac over the top makes it look as good as it tastes.
