This vibrant, herb-forward salad takes everything you love about the classic Lebanese bread salad and strips it back to its freshest, most essential elements. 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 — bright, citrusy, and just a little earthy — whisked together in under a minute with nothing but pantry staples and good olive oil. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and torn mint leaves give every bite an herby lift that makes this feel far more special than the effort involved. Traditional fattoush usually relies on toasted pita for crunch, but this version proves the vegetables and dressing are more than enough to carry the dish on their own. It's naturally compliant with a whole-food reset without any swaps or substitutions — just clean, real ingredients from start to finish. Serve it immediately after tossing so the greens stay crisp and that final dusting of sumac really pops.
