Macadamia Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic, this Mediterranean-style marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or a handful of vegetables taste genuinely special. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar bring just enough acidity to tenderize and lift every flavor around them. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in that unmistakable Greek-inspired warmth, and the optional fresh parsley adds a pop of color if you want to dress it up. Every single ingredient here is straightforward pantry and produce-aisle stuff — no specialty items, no hidden nut-based oils, nothing to second-guess. It comes together in one bowl with a whisk and takes about as long as it does to read this sentence. Make a batch, stash it in a jar in the fridge, and you've got five days of effortless flavor ready to go whenever dinner needs a shortcut.
