Wheat Free Pesto-Walnut Grape Snack Box
This snack box is the kind of effortless, no-cook assembly that somehow feels more satisfying than anything that took an hour to make. Juicy red grapes, crisp cucumber rounds, and crunchy dry-roasted walnuts come together with a deeply savory walnut-basil pesto that you'll want to put on everything. The pesto itself is made entirely from whole, simple ingredients — fresh basil, walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic — so there's no flour, no starch, no hidden grain-based fillers to worry about. Packaged pestos and snack kits can be surprisingly tricky territory, often containing thickeners or additives that sneak wheat into places you'd never expect. Making it yourself in a food processor takes about five minutes and gives you full control over every single ingredient. A drizzle of raw honey over the grapes is optional but genuinely lovely, adding just enough sweetness to balance the garlicky, herby pesto. Whether you're packing it for lunch or setting it out as an afternoon snack, this box hits every note — fresh, rich, crunchy, and completely satisfying.

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.
