Walnut Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, 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 silky base, while fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar add a tangy lift that tenderizes whatever you're marinating. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in that unmistakable herbaceous warmth, and fresh parsley rounds everything out with a pop of color and freshness. Many store-bought marinades sneak in unexpected ingredients, but this one is built entirely from pantry staples and fresh aromatics — nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary. It comes together in minutes with just a whisk and a bowl, making it as practical as it is delicious. Keep a jar in the fridge and you're always one shake away from transforming chicken, lamb, vegetables, or even a simple salad dressing into something that tastes genuinely special.
