Nutmeg 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 come together with a drizzle of olive oil and a dusting of dried oregano — simple ingredients that genuinely deliver. The star is the creamy tahini dip, whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and a splash of olive oil until it's silky, tangy, and just thick enough to cling to every bite. Every component in this recipe is naturally free from nutmeg, so there's no need to scrutinize spice blends or swap anything out — it just works as written. It's the kind of snack that feels elevated without requiring any cooking, and it holds up beautifully in the fridge for a few hours, making it ideal for meal prep or an easy afternoon spread. Whether you're packing it for lunch or setting it out for guests, the combination of textures and bold Mediterranean flavors makes it genuinely hard to stop snacking.

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.
- 2
Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
