Oats 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. Everything gets a drizzle of good olive oil and a dusting of dried oregano before the real star shows up — a silky, garlicky tahini dip made from scratch with lemon juice, cumin, and just enough water to get it perfectly pourable. Whisking the tahini base together takes only a few minutes, and the result is so much more vibrant than anything you'd find pre-packaged at the store. This kind of fresh, produce-forward snacking is naturally free from grains and cereals, so there's zero need to scan labels or worry about hidden ingredients sneaking in. Every component here is whole and recognizable — vegetables, olives, tahini, olive oil, and a handful of pantry spices. It's the kind of snack that works just as well packed into a container for lunch as it does laid out on a board for guests. The tahini dip keeps beautifully in the fridge for a few hours, making it easy to prep ahead and grab when hunger strikes.

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.
