Bright, tangy, and loaded with crunch, this fattoush-style salad brings the bold flavors of the Levant to your table using nothing but fresh produce and a punchy lemon-sumac dressing. Ground sumac is the real star here — its citrusy, slightly tart edge layers beautifully with fresh lemon juice and dried mint to create a dressing that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, peppery radishes, and two kinds of fresh herbs make every forkful interesting from start to finish. Traditional fattoush relies on toasted pita for texture, but this version skips the bread entirely and honestly doesn't miss it — the radishes and cucumber do all the heavy lifting in the crunch department. Because every single ingredient here is a whole, unprocessed food, you never have to second-guess labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your bowl. A final dusting of sumac before serving adds a gorgeous pop of color and an extra hit of that signature tartness. Toss it together right before you eat and it comes together in minutes — fresh, clean, and completely satisfying.
