Legume Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

Fattoush is traditionally loaded with toasted pita chips, which makes it a no-go for anyone avoiding legumes and grains — but this version captures every bright, herby note of the original without them. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes come together in a bowl that feels genuinely abundant, not like something is missing. The real star is the dressing: a punchy whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac that clings to every leaf and slice. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and torn mint leaves woven through the salad give it that unmistakable Middle Eastern freshness that makes you want to go back for another forkful. Because every ingredient here is a whole, clean vegetable or herb, you never have to second-guess a label or worry about hidden legume-based additives sneaking in. A final dusting of sumac over the top before serving adds a gorgeous pop of color and a last hit of citrusy tang. Toss it right before you eat and it comes together in minutes — the kind of salad that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation.
