Chestnut Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad
This bright, herb-forward salad brings the bold flavors of the Levant straight to your table without any of the fuss. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes come together in a bowl that looks as stunning as it tastes. The real star is the tangy sumac-and-lemon dressing — whisked together in under a minute, it coats every leaf and vegetable with a citrusy, slightly floral punch that feels anything but plain. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and torn mint leaves add layers of herby brightness that make this salad feel genuinely special. Because every single ingredient here is a whole, unprocessed food, you never have to squint at a label or worry about sneaky additives hiding in a bottled dressing. It comes together fast, serves beautifully, and that optional finishing dusting of sumac on top makes it look like something straight off a restaurant menu. Whether you're deep in a Whole30 reset or just craving something clean and vibrant, this one is worth keeping in your regular rotation.
