Tree Nut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
This snack box is a little taste of the Mediterranean packed into a portable, no-cook spread that feels way more special than your average afternoon snack. Juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives come together with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano — simple ingredients that genuinely taste like something you'd order at a seaside café. The real star is the tahini dip: whisked together with fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and a splash of olive oil, it comes out silky, tangy, and deeply savory in the best way. Tahini is made from sesame seeds, not tree nuts, so it delivers that rich, nutty-tasting depth without any concern about almonds, cashews, or walnuts sneaking into your dip. Store-bought hummus and dips can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings, but making this one from scratch takes just a few minutes and puts you fully in control of every ingredient. It holds up beautifully in the fridge for a few hours, making it a smart option for meal prep, lunchboxes, or a grazing spread when guests come over. Fresh, vibrant, and genuinely satisfying — this one earns a permanent spot in the snack rotation.

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 cup cherry tomatoes

- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- flaky sea salt, to taste
- 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.
