Eggless Pesto-Walnut Grape Snack Box
This snack box is the kind of effortless, no-cook assembly that somehow feels way more special than the sum of its parts. Juicy red grapes, crisp cucumber rounds, and crunchy dry-roasted walnuts come together with a rustic basil-walnut pesto that you blitz together in minutes — no stove, no fuss. The pesto itself is earthy and bright, with fresh basil, lemon juice, and garlic giving it a punchy, herbaceous kick that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the grapes. A light drizzle of raw honey over the fruit ties everything together if you want a little extra magic. Since the whole thing skips eggs entirely — no mayo-based dips, no egg-washed anything — it's naturally safe for anyone avoiding them without any substitutions or workarounds needed. It works just as well as a lunchbox addition, an afternoon snack, or a low-effort appetizer board when you have people over.

2 servings
For the walnut pesto
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
- ¼ cup dry-roasted walnuts
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- ¼ tsp salt
For the snack box
- 1 cup red grapes
- ¼ cup dry-roasted walnuts
- ½ medium cucumber, sliced into rounds
- 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the basil, 1/4 cup dry-roasted walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a small food processor. Pulse 8–10 times, scraping down the sides once, until the mixture is coarsely ground and holds together — it should look like a rough, spreadable paste, not a smooth purée.
- 2
Slice the cucumber into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
