Yeast Free Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, garlicky, and deeply aromatic, this Greek-inspired marinade brings serious Mediterranean flavor to whatever you're cooking. The base of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar creates a tangy, well-rounded foundation that clings beautifully to proteins and vegetables alike. Dried oregano, thyme, and a touch of cumin layer in that unmistakable herb-forward warmth, while fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness if you have it on hand. For anyone avoiding yeast, marinades and condiments can be a minefield — many store-bought versions sneak in yeast extract or fermented flavor boosters — but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward. Apple cider vinegar steps in to deliver that necessary brightness and depth without any yeast-derived additives. It comes together in one bowl with just a whisk, and it keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can marinate chicken, lamb, or roasted vegetables all week long. Simple, punchy, and completely fuss-free.
