Caffeine Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this Mediterranean-style marinade brings serious flavor to whatever you're cooking without a single complicated step. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar cut through with just enough acidity to tenderize and brighten. Dried oregano, thyme, and cumin layer in that unmistakable Greek-inspired warmth, and the finely minced garlic ties everything together beautifully. For anyone keeping an eye on stimulants, this is a completely clean option — every ingredient here is naturally free of caffeine, so there's no label-scanning required. A handful of fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and a grassy finish if you have it on hand. It comes together in minutes and keeps in the fridge for up to five days, making it an easy go-to for weeknight proteins, roasted vegetables, or anything heading to the grill. Shake it well before each use and let the flavors do the heavy lifting.
