Mustard Free Greek Herb Marinade
So many store-bought marinades sneak in mustard as an emulsifier or flavor booster, which makes finding a safe option genuinely frustrating. This bright, herby marinade skips it entirely and doesn't sacrifice a single drop of flavor. Extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar form the tangy base, while garlic, oregano, thyme, and cumin layer in that unmistakably Mediterranean depth. A handful of fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and freshness that makes the whole thing feel restaurant-worthy. It comes together in one bowl with just a quick whisk — no cooking, no fuss. Make a batch on Sunday and keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge all week, ready to go on chicken, lamb, vegetables, or whatever you're throwing on the grill.
