Pork Free Pesto-Walnut Grape Snack Box
Fresh, vibrant, and genuinely satisfying, this snack box is the kind of thing you'll want to meal-prep every Sunday. The star is a rustic walnut pesto — basil, garlic, lemon juice, and dry-roasted walnuts pulsed together into a coarse, spreadable paste that has way more personality than anything from a jar. It pairs beautifully with cool cucumber rounds and juicy red grapes, making each bite a little sweet, a little herby, and a little crunchy all at once. Everything here is naturally plant-based and built from whole, recognizable ingredients, so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your food. A drizzle of raw honey over the grapes is optional but highly recommended if you want to lean into that sweet-savory contrast. Assembly takes just minutes, and the pesto comes together with a few quick pulses in a food processor — no cooking required. It's an effortless, crowd-pleasing snack that feels far more elevated than the effort involved.

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.
