Caffeine Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

This bright, herby salad takes the spirit of a classic Levantine fattoush and strips it back to pure, vibrant produce — no pita chips needed to make it satisfying. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes come together in a bowl that looks as good as it tastes. The real star is the dressing: a punchy whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac that clings to every leaf and slice. Dried mint in the dressing and fresh mint torn right into the salad create this layered herbal quality that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. Since every single ingredient here is naturally free of stimulants, there's zero label-reading stress — just clean, whole-food eating at its most colorful. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away so the vegetables stay crisp and the dressing stays bright. A final dusting of sumac over the top is a small touch that makes the whole plate pop.
