Brazil Nut Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, tangy, and deeply aromatic, this Greek-inspired marinade brings serious Mediterranean flavor to whatever you're cooking. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar add a lively acidity that helps tenderize meat, poultry, or vegetables beautifully. Garlic, oregano, thyme, and cumin layer in that unmistakable herb-forward warmth that makes Greek food so craveable. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with just a whisk — no blender, no special equipment, no fuss. Store-bought marinades can be a minefield of mystery ingredients and shared-facility warnings, but every single component here is straightforward and easy to verify. A handful of fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and brightness if you have it on hand. Make a batch, keep it in a jar in the fridge, and you're just a shake away from a seriously good weeknight dinner all week long.
