Cashew Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
This snack box is a bright, satisfying spread that feels like a little corner of the Mediterranean landed on your table. Juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives are drizzled with olive oil and dusted with dried oregano, making every bite feel fresh and intentional. The real star is the tahini dip — whisked together with lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and a splash of water until it's silky, pourable, and absolutely craveable. Because tahini is made from sesame seeds rather than tree nuts, this dip delivers that same rich, nutty depth without any cashew involvement whatsoever, making it a genuinely safe and delicious option for anyone navigating tree nut restrictions. It comes together with almost no effort and holds up well in the fridge for a few hours, so it's just as practical for meal prep as it is for an impromptu afternoon snack. Serve it straight from the container or pack it up for work — either way, it's the kind of snack that makes you feel like you actually have your life together.

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 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.
