Lactose Free Citrus-Garlic Marinade
Bright citrus, pungent garlic, and warm aromatics come together in a marinade that makes chicken, pork, or fish taste like something you'd order at a restaurant. Fresh orange and lemon juice form the tangy backbone, while grated ginger, turmeric, and a handful of garden herbs add serious depth without any heaviness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works. A quick whisk is all it takes to bring the olive oil and citrus into a glossy, fragrant blend that clings beautifully to whatever protein you choose. The optional drizzle of raw honey rounds out the acidity with a subtle sweetness that makes the whole thing feel a little more complex. Make a batch on Sunday and keep it in the fridge for up to three days, ready to go whenever dinner needs a serious upgrade.
