Lactose Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and loaded with Mediterranean character, this herb marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or a handful of vegetables taste like something you'd order at a restaurant. The base is extra-virgin olive oil whisked together with fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, which creates a tangy, well-rounded depth that clings beautifully to whatever you're marinating. Oregano, thyme, and cumin do the heavy lifting on flavor, while fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Because every ingredient here is naturally plant-based and dairy-free, there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it just works. Marinades from the store often sneak in unexpected dairy derivatives or additives, so making your own from scratch is genuinely worth the five minutes it takes. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can whisk up a batch at the start of the week and have bold, herby flavor ready to go whenever you need it.
