Celery 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 escape to the Mediterranean coast. The real star is the creamy tahini dip — whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil until it's silky enough to drizzle but thick enough to scoop. It's the kind of snack that looks impressive without requiring any actual cooking, which makes it perfect for meal prep, lunchboxes, or an easy afternoon spread. Celery is one of those sneaky ingredients that tends to show up in dips, dressings, and pre-packaged snack trays, but every single component here is naturally free of it — no substitutions needed. A drizzle of good olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the vegetables ties everything together with minimal effort. The whole thing can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to four hours, so it's just as practical as it is delicious. Whether you're packing it for work or setting it out for guests, this snack box delivers serious flavor with zero fuss.

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

- 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.
