Hazelnut Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

Bright, tangy, and loaded with fresh herbs, this fattoush-style salad is the kind of dish that makes eating clean feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise. The dressing comes together in about 30 seconds — just olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground sumac, and dried mint whisked into something bold and aromatic that coats every leaf and vegetable beautifully. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, peppery radishes, and a generous handful of flat-leaf parsley and fresh mint make this salad feel abundant and satisfying rather than sparse. Traditional fattoush usually includes toasted pita, but skipping it here keeps everything compliant without sacrificing any of the flavor that makes this Lebanese-inspired classic so craveable. Sumac is the real star — its citrusy, slightly earthy punch does heavy lifting in both the dressing and the optional finishing dusting on top. There are no nuts, no hidden oils, and no processed ingredients to second-guess, just whole produce and pantry staples you can feel good about. Serve it immediately after tossing so the vegetables stay crisp and the herbs stay vibrant.
