Gluten Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic, this Mediterranean-inspired marinade is the kind of thing you'll want to keep on rotation in your fridge all summer long. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar give it that signature tang that makes proteins and vegetables really sing. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in warmth and depth, and a handful of fresh parsley at the end keeps everything feeling vibrant and alive. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking in through spice blends or bottled dressings. It comes together in one bowl with just a whisk — no special equipment, no fuss. Make a batch at the start of the week, stash it in a sealed jar, and you've got a ready-to-go marinade that works on chicken, lamb, shrimp, roasted vegetables, or even drizzled over a simple salad. Just give it a good shake before using, and dinner is practically halfway done.
