Coconut Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and punchy with lemon, this Mediterranean-style marinade is the kind of thing that makes weeknight dinners feel a little more special. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the base, while apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice cut through the richness and help tenderize whatever you're marinating. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in that unmistakably Greek flavor profile without any complicated prep. Every single ingredient here is straightforward pantry and produce staple — no hidden tropical oils, no coconut-derived additives, no label anxiety. Just whisk everything together, taste, adjust the salt, and you're done in minutes. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have flavor-packed proteins or vegetables ready to go all week long. Fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and brightness that really ties the whole thing together.
