Lactose Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

Bright, herby, and loaded with crunch, this fattoush-style salad brings serious Middle Eastern flavor to your table without a single ingredient that will derail your reset. The dressing is built on good olive oil and fresh lemon juice, with ground sumac doing the heavy lifting — that tart, almost fruity punch is what makes fattoush taste so distinct and addictive. Crisp romaine, cool cucumber, peppery radishes, and two kinds of fresh herbs make every forkful feel alive, and the whole thing comes together in minutes with nothing more than a whisk and a big bowl. Traditional fattoush usually includes toasted pita, but skipping it here means the salad is naturally free of grains, dairy, and anything else that tends to sneak in through store-bought shortcuts. The finishing dusting of sumac is a small touch that makes the plating look intentional and restaurant-worthy. Toss it right before serving so the greens stay crisp and the dressing coats everything evenly — this one does not like to wait around.
