Mushroom Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, tangy, and deeply aromatic, this Mediterranean-style marinade is built on a backbone of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar — a trio that tenderizes beautifully while delivering serious flavor. Minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin round things out with that unmistakable Greek-inspired warmth. Every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward, which is great news if you're navigating a sensitivity that requires checking labels carefully for hidden fungi-derived additives or flavor enhancers. This one sidesteps all of that with nothing but pantry staples and fresh aromatics. A handful of chopped parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Whisk it together in minutes, use it right away on chicken, lamb, or vegetables, or stash it in a jar in the fridge for up to five days so it's ready whenever dinner calls.
