Fish Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic, this Mediterranean-style marinade is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in your fridge at all times. The combination of fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and extra-virgin olive oil creates a beautifully balanced base that tenderizes and flavors whatever you're cooking. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin give it that unmistakable Greek-inspired depth, while fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and pantry-friendly, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden fish-derived additives like Worcestershire sauce or anchovy paste that sneak into so many store-bought marinades. Just whisk everything together in one bowl and you're done — it genuinely takes minutes. It keeps well in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch ahead and have it ready to go for weeknight dinners all week long.
