Celery Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic and lemon, this Mediterranean-style marinade is the kind of thing you'll want to keep stocked in your fridge at all times. It comes together in minutes with pantry staples — olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, cumin, and thyme — whisked into a beautifully emulsified blend that clings to whatever you're marinating. For anyone navigating a celery allergy or sensitivity, store-bought marinades and dressings can be a minefield of hidden ingredients and ambiguous "natural flavors," so making your own is genuinely the smarter move. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, giving you full control without sacrificing any flavor. The garlic and fresh parsley add a lively finish that makes this taste far more complex than the effort involved. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can batch it on Sunday and have a flavor-packed weeknight secret weapon ready to go.
