Hazelnut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
Bright cherry tomatoes, cool cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives make this snack box feel like a little trip to the Mediterranean without leaving your kitchen. The real star is the tahini dip — whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil until it's silky, pourable, and just bold enough to make every bite interesting. Tahini is made purely from sesame seeds, so it delivers that rich, nutty depth you crave without any tree nut involvement whatsoever. Snack boxes like this can sometimes feel like an afterthought, but the drizzle of olive oil, dried oregano, and flaky sea salt over the vegetables elevates the whole thing into something you'd genuinely look forward to. It comes together in minutes, holds up well in the fridge for a few hours, and works equally well as a desk lunch, a party spread, or an afternoon pick-me-up. Clean, fresh, and deeply satisfying — this one earns a permanent spot in the snack rotation.

2 servings

- 2 tbsp water

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.
