Almond Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
This snack box is the kind of thing that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did — bright cherry tomatoes, cool cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives arranged together with a creamy, garlicky tahini dip on the side. The dip comes together in one bowl with tahini, fresh lemon juice, a little cumin, and olive oil whisked until smooth and pourable, which means you're getting serious flavor without any complicated technique. Tahini is made from sesame seeds, so it delivers that rich, nutty depth you'd want from a dip without a single tree nut in sight — a genuinely satisfying option when you need to avoid almonds and similar ingredients. The vegetables get a finishing drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of dried oregano, and flaky sea salt that ties everything together in a way that feels almost Mediterranean-restaurant-worthy. It's equally good as a meal-prep lunch box or a quick afternoon snack, and it holds up in the fridge for a few hours if you need to get ahead. Fresh parsley scattered on top adds a pop of color that makes the whole thing look as good as it tastes.

2 servings
For the tahini dip
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
For the snack box
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes

- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano

- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, water, olive oil, cumin, and salt until smooth and pourable — the dip should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to drizzle. If it seizes and thickens, whisk in an additional teaspoon of water at a time until it loosens.
- 2
Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
