High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad
This bright, herb-forward salad pulls inspiration from the classic Levantine dish, swapping out the traditional fried pita for a clean, produce-packed bowl that still delivers every bit of the flavor you'd expect. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes come together with a generous handful of fresh parsley and torn mint leaves — it's the kind of salad that actually tastes like something. The real star is the dressing: a tangy whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac that clings to every leaf and slice without a drop of sweetener or processed ingredient in sight. That matters more than it sounds, because bottled dressings and store-bought salad kits are some of the sneakiest places hidden sweeteners tend to show up. Here, every single component is whole, recognizable, and exactly what it says it is. A final dusting of sumac over the top adds a gorgeous pop of color and a little extra citrusy depth that makes the whole bowl feel restaurant-worthy. It comes together in minutes and is the kind of dish you'll want on repeat all week.
