Pregnancy Friendly Whole30 Fattoush-Style Salad

Bright, crunchy, and loaded with fresh herbs, this Lebanese-inspired salad is the kind of dish that makes eating well feel genuinely exciting. Romaine, Roma tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, and a generous handful of both parsley and fresh mint come together in a bowl that's as colorful as it is satisfying. The dressing is a simple whisk of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac — that tangy, ruby-red spice that gives the whole thing a citrusy depth you won't get from bottled dressings. During pregnancy, leaning on whole, unprocessed ingredients matters, and every component here is exactly what it looks like: real vegetables, real herbs, and nothing hidden. The scallion greens keep the flavor bright without being too sharp, and the double hit of sumac — in the dressing and dusted on top — makes each bite feel a little special. It comes together in minutes, which is a genuine gift when energy isn't always on your side. Serve it immediately so the romaine stays crisp and the herbs stay vibrant.
