Paleo Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
Fresh vegetables, briny olives, and a silky tahini dip come together in a snack that feels like a little corner of the Mediterranean on your table. The tahini dip is whisked together with lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil until it's smooth, pourable, and deeply savory — the kind of thing you'll want to drizzle on everything. Cherry tomatoes and crisp cucumber rounds get a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a dusting of dried oregano, making even the simplest components taste intentional. Kalamata olives add a punchy, salty contrast that rounds out every bite. This kind of snack can be tricky to pull off on a grain-free, legume-free eating plan because so many convenient options are off the table — but every single ingredient here is naturally whole and unprocessed, so there's nothing to second-guess. It's also a great make-ahead option, since the whole box can be assembled and refrigerated for a few hours without losing any of its freshness or crunch. Whether you're meal-prepping for the week or just need something satisfying between meals, this one delivers real flavor with zero compromise.

2 servings

- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 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.
- 2
Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
