Bright, herby, and loaded with crunch, this fattoush-style salad is the kind of dish that makes eating clean feel genuinely exciting. The classic Lebanese-inspired original typically features toasted pita chips, but this version skips the bread entirely and lets the vegetables shine on their own — no substitutions needed, just fresh produce at its best. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes all come together in a bowl that's as colorful as it is satisfying. The real star is the tangy sumac-and-lemon dressing, which brings that signature tart, slightly floral punch you'd expect from a great Middle Eastern salad. Fresh mint and flat-leaf parsley add layers of brightness that make every forkful feel alive. Everything here is naturally free of pork and pork-derived ingredients — just wholesome vegetables, good olive oil, and bold spices you can feel confident about. Dust on that extra pinch of sumac before serving and watch it disappear fast.
