Brazil Nut Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad
Bright, herby, and loaded with crunch, this fattoush-style salad is a celebration of fresh vegetables and bold Middle Eastern flavors. The dressing is built on extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice, with ground sumac lending that signature tangy, almost floral note that makes fattoush so distinctive. Dried mint in the dressing and fresh mint leaves in the salad itself create a layered herbal quality that feels anything but plain. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes all come together in a bowl that's as satisfying to look at as it is to eat. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-reading stress or substitution gymnastics required. A final dusting of sumac over the top is a small touch that makes the whole plate look stunning and adds one last pop of brightness. Toss it right before serving and it comes together in just minutes — the kind of effortless, feel-good dish that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation.
