Celery Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

This bright, herby salad pulls from the flavors of classic Lebanese fattoush — tangy lemon, earthy sumac, and loads of fresh herbs — without the toasted pita that usually steals the show. What you get instead is a bowl that's all crunch and color: crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes, all tossed in a punchy olive oil and lemon dressing. The sumac does serious heavy lifting here, bringing that signature citrusy depth that makes every bite feel a little more interesting than your average green salad. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and torn mint leaves round things out so the whole bowl tastes alive and garden-fresh. Because every ingredient is a whole, unprocessed plant or pantry staple, there's nothing to second-guess — no hidden additives, no sneaky fillers, just clean food that happens to taste incredible. It comes together in minutes and is best served right away while everything is still crisp and the dressing is freshly coating each leaf. A final dusting of sumac over the top is a small touch that makes it look as good as it tastes.
