Gelatin Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and loaded with Mediterranean flavor, this herb marinade is the kind of thing you'll want to keep stocked in your fridge at all times. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar give it that punchy, tangy lift that makes proteins and vegetables sing. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in warmth and depth, and a handful of fresh parsley rounds everything out beautifully. Many store-bought marinades and seasoning blends sneak in unexpected additives, so mixing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in. Every single ingredient here is a straightforward pantry staple — no hidden surprises, no animal-derived thickeners, just clean, honest flavor. It comes together in minutes with a bowl and a whisk, and it keeps in the fridge for up to five days, making weeknight cooking feel almost effortless. Whether you're using it on chicken, lamb, roasted vegetables, or even as a dressing, this one is a genuine all-purpose workhorse.
