Tree Nut Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and punchy with lemon, this Mediterranean-style marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or a handful of vegetables taste like it came from a proper Greek kitchen. The combination of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar creates a beautifully balanced base, while oregano, thyme, and cumin layer in that warm, herby depth you want from a classic marinade. Everything comes together in one bowl with just a whisk — no cooking, no fuss, no special equipment. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought marinades and spice blends can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings, but this one is built entirely from whole, straightforward pantry staples you can verify yourself. A handful of fresh parsley stirred in at the end adds a pop of color and brightness if you have it on hand. Make a batch on Sunday and keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge all week — it's just as good on grilled fish or roasted vegetables as it is on meat.
