Cinnamon 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 good olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano — simple ingredients that genuinely deliver. The star is the creamy tahini dip, whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, and a touch of cumin for a sauce that's nutty, tangy, and completely addictive. Many store-bought dips and spice blends sneak in warm spices that can be hard to spot on a label, so making this from scratch means you know exactly what's in every bite. The cumin here adds gentle earthiness without any of the sweet, warming notes that can be so tricky to avoid. It comes together in minutes, packs beautifully for up to four hours in the fridge, and works just as well as a desk lunch as it does a party spread. Honestly, once you've made this tahini dip yourself, it's hard to go back to anything from a jar.

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

- 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.

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