Pork Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and loaded with Mediterranean character, this herb marinade is the kind of thing that makes simple proteins taste like they came from a proper Greek kitchen. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the base, with fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar cutting through the richness and helping the flavors really penetrate whatever you're marinating. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of ground cumin give it that warm, earthy depth that's instantly recognizable, while fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-reading stress — just whisk and go. It comes together in minutes and keeps in the fridge for up to five days, which means you can prep a batch at the start of the week and have bold, herby flavor ready whenever you need it. Drizzle it over chicken, lamb, seafood, or vegetables and let it do all the heavy lifting.
