Artificial Food Coloring Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
Bright cherry tomatoes, cool cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives come together in a snack box that feels like a little trip to the Mediterranean coast. Every component here is whole and recognizable — fresh produce, good olive oil, real tahini — so there's no guesswork about what's actually in your food. That matters more than people realize with packaged snacks, where synthetic dyes can sneak in through brined olives, flavored dips, or even pre-seasoned vegetables. This one sidesteps all of that by keeping things beautifully simple and ingredient-transparent. The tahini dip is the real star: lemon, garlic, cumin, and a drizzle of olive oil whipped into something creamy and tangy that makes every bite worth dunking. It comes together in minutes and holds up in the fridge for a few hours, making it a smart option for meal prep or an afternoon snack that actually satisfies. Clean, colorful, and genuinely delicious — this is the kind of snack box you'll want to make on repeat.

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 medium english cucumber, sliced into rounds
- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- flaky sea salt, to taste
- 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.

Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
