High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and deeply aromatic, this Mediterranean-inspired marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or a handful of vegetables taste like it came from a proper Greek kitchen. Every ingredient here is whole and recognizable — good olive oil, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and a handful of dried spices — so there's no guessing what's actually in it. That matters more than people realize, because so many store-bought marinades and bottled dressings quietly sneak in sweeteners that have no business being there. This one skips all of that without sacrificing a single drop of flavor. The cumin adds a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the brightness of the lemon, while the oregano and thyme keep things firmly rooted in the Mediterranean. Whisk it together in minutes, use it right away, or stash it in a jar in the fridge for up to five days so it's ready whenever dinner needs a serious upgrade.
