Fattoush is traditionally loaded with toasted pita chips, which makes it an automatic no-go when you're avoiding yeast — but this version skips the bread entirely and honestly doesn't miss it. The real star here is the dressing: bright lemon juice, fruity olive oil, and a generous hit of ground sumac that gives the whole bowl that signature tangy, slightly floral punch. Crisp romaine, juicy Roma tomatoes, cool cucumber, and peppery radishes create a satisfying crunch in every bite, while fresh parsley and torn mint leaves keep things vibrant and aromatic. The scallion greens add a mild oniony note without overwhelming the other flavors, and a final dusting of sumac over the top makes it look as good as it tastes. Everything in the dressing is naturally fermentation-free — no vinegar, no yeast extract, just clean whole ingredients that come together in under a minute of whisking. This is the kind of salad that works as a light lunch on its own or as a fresh, zesty side next to grilled protein. Toss it right before serving so the greens stay crisp and the colors stay gorgeous.
