Vegan Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and punchy with garlic, this Mediterranean-inspired marinade is the kind of thing you'll want to keep on rotation in your fridge. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar bring a lively tang that cuts right through the richness. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of ground cumin layer in that unmistakably Greek warmth, and the optional fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. Every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it's just good, clean flavor from the start. Whisk it together in minutes and use it right away, or stash it in a sealed jar for up to five days so weeknight meals practically cook themselves. It works beautifully as a marinade for vegetables, tofu, or legumes, and doubles as a bold drizzle over roasted dishes or grain bowls. Simple, versatile, and deeply satisfying — this is the kind of pantry staple that quietly elevates everything it touches.
