Mushroom Free Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad
This bright, herb-forward salad is a riff on the classic Lebanese fattoush, swapping out the traditional toasted pita for a clean, grain-free approach that keeps every bite crisp and vibrant. Crunchy romaine, cool cucumber, peppery radishes, and juicy Roma tomatoes get tossed with a punchy sumac-lemon dressing that is tangy, a little earthy, and completely addictive. Fresh flat-leaf parsley and torn mint leaves take the whole thing to another level, making it feel like something you'd order at a really good restaurant rather than throw together on a weeknight. Because every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable plant or pantry staple, there's zero guesswork about what's in your bowl — no hidden fillers, no processed add-ins, nothing that doesn't belong. The dressing comes together in about 30 seconds of whisking, which means this salad is genuinely fast without cutting any corners on flavor. A final dusting of sumac over the top is a small touch that makes the presentation look intentional and adds one last bright, citrusy note. Serve it immediately so the greens stay crisp and the colors stay gorgeous.
