Chicken Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
Bright, briny, and built for snacking, this Mediterranean-inspired box is the kind of no-cook spread that feels effortlessly put together. Juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber rounds, and plump Kalamata olives are drizzled with good olive oil and dusted with dried oregano — simple ingredients doing serious work. The real star is the tahini dip: a silky, garlicky blend of tahini, fresh lemon juice, cumin, and olive oil that comes together in minutes and tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant. Because everything here is entirely plant-based and built from whole ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden poultry-derived additives or worry about what's lurking in a store-bought dip. It works beautifully as a light lunch, an afternoon snack, or a shareable appetizer when guests come over. Make it ahead and refrigerate for up to four hours, and the flavors only get better as everything melds 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 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.
- 2
Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
