Pistachio Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
This snack box is a little taste of the Mediterranean in a box — bright cherry tomatoes, cool cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives arranged together for a spread that looks as good as it tastes. The real star is the creamy tahini dip, whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil until it's silky, tangy, and just thick enough to cling to every bite. It's the kind of snack that feels elevated without requiring any real effort. For anyone navigating nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally built around seeds and fresh produce — no tree nut ingredients anywhere in the mix, so you can dip and snack with total confidence. A drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a scatter of fresh parsley pull everything together into something that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. Pack it up for lunch, serve it at a gathering, or keep it in the fridge for an easy afternoon snack — it holds beautifully for up to four hours.

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

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.
