This bright, herb-forward salad pulls inspiration from the classic Levantine fattoush, swapping out the traditional toasted pita for a clean, produce-packed bowl that still delivers every bit of the flavor. The dressing is the real star here — a punchy blend of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and ground sumac that comes together in seconds and coats every leaf and vegetable with a tangy, slightly floral kick. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes give you a satisfying crunch in every bite, while the fresh parsley and torn mint leaves make the whole thing taste incredibly alive. Because every ingredient is a whole, recognizable food, you never have to squint at a label or wonder whether a bottled dressing is sneaking in something unwanted. The sumac does heavy lifting here — it's earthy and citrusy at once, and a final dusting over the plated salad makes it look as good as it tastes. This is the kind of salad that actually feels like a meal rather than an afterthought, and it comes together fast enough to land on a weeknight table without any stress.
