Nutmeg Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & White Bean Snack Box
This snack box is a bright, satisfying spread that feels like a little corner of the Mediterranean packed right into a portable container. Creamy cannellini beans get tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and cumin for a savory, herby bite that pairs beautifully with juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp carrot sticks, and briny Kalamata olives. The whole thing comes together in minutes — no cooking required, just a quick rinse, toss, and assemble. For anyone navigating spice sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of nutmeg and relies on a clean, simple lineup of pantry staples and fresh produce, so there's no guesswork about hidden seasonings. The optional parsley and extra drizzle of olive oil add a finishing touch that makes it look as good as it tastes. It's equally at home as an afternoon snack, a light lunch, or a crowd-pleasing addition to a grazing spread.
