Oats Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, punchy, and deeply aromatic, this Greek-inspired marinade brings together the bold flavors of the Mediterranean in one simple bowl. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the rich base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar cut through with just the right amount of tang. Garlic, oregano, thyme, and cumin layer in that unmistakable herby warmth that makes grilled chicken, lamb, or roasted vegetables taste like they came straight off a taverna grill. The whole thing comes together with a quick whisk — no cooking, no special equipment, just real ingredients doing all the heavy lifting. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, marinades can be a sneaky source of hidden additives, but every single component here is naturally free of oats and grain-based fillers. A handful of fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Make a batch on Sunday and keep it in the fridge all week — it only gets better as the flavors meld.
