Walnut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Cucumber Snack Box with Tahini Dip
This snack box is the kind of thing that looks like it came from a trendy café but takes almost no effort to pull together at home. Juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber rounds, and briny Kalamata olives are arranged in tidy sections, drizzled with olive oil, and finished with dried oregano and a pinch of flaky sea salt — it's fresh, colorful, and genuinely satisfying. The real star is the tahini dip: a silky blend of tahini, fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil that comes together in one bowl with just a whisk. It's rich and nutty without relying on tree nuts at all, which makes it a great option when you need to sidestep walnuts but still want something with real depth of flavor. Store-bought dips and snack packs can be tricky territory with shared-facility warnings, so making this from scratch gives you full control over every ingredient. Pack it up for lunch, serve it as an appetizer, or just raid it straight from the fridge — it holds beautifully for up to four hours, so it's genuinely meal-prep friendly too.

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

- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
- 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.
