Xanthan Gum 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 that feels like a little escape to the Mediterranean coast. The real star is the silky tahini dip — just a quick whisk of tahini, fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, cumin, and olive oil produces something deeply savory and completely addictive. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gums and stabilizers, so there's no label-scanning required and no compromises on flavor or texture. That matters more than it sounds, because store-bought dips and dressings are notorious for sneaking in thickeners that have no business being in a simple sauce. A drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of dried oregano over the vegetables ties the whole box together with almost zero effort. It's the kind of snack that works equally well as a quick lunch, a party spread, or a meal-prep staple you can pull from the fridge throughout the week.

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.

Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and Kalamata olives across two snack boxes or shallow containers, keeping each component in its own section.
