Capsaicin Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

This bright, herb-forward salad takes everything you love about the classic Lebanese street dish and keeps it completely clean — no pita chips, no grains, just a stunning pile of crisp vegetables dressed in something genuinely craveable. The dressing is built on good olive oil and fresh lemon juice, with ground sumac lending that distinctive tangy, slightly fruity note that makes fattoush so addictive in the first place. Dried mint in the dressing and fresh mint torn right into the bowl create this layered herbal quality that feels restaurant-worthy with almost zero effort. Radishes add a satisfying crunch and a mild peppery bite that keeps things interesting without any heat — making this a great choice when you need bold flavor without capsaicin anywhere in sight. Scallion greens, flat-leaf parsley, and cool cucumber round out the bowl so every forkful has something going on. Toss it right before serving so the romaine stays crisp, and don't skip that final dusting of sumac — it makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes.
