AIP Friendly Herb & Garlic Italian Marinade
This bright, herbaceous marinade is built on a base of extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, layered with fresh oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary for that classic Italian-inspired depth. A hit of minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice keeps everything lively, while ground turmeric and ginger add a subtle warmth that makes this more interesting than anything you'd find in a bottle at the store. Most bottled Italian dressings and marinades are loaded with ingredients that don't work for an elimination-style protocol — nightshade-derived spices, seed oils, and additives that are hard to track down on a label. This one sidesteps all of that by sticking to whole, recognizable ingredients that are straightforward to verify. Whisk it together in under five minutes, and it's ready to go on chicken, fish, or roasted vegetables for up to four servings. You can keep a jar in the fridge for up to five days, so a little Sunday prep goes a long way through the week. The optional honey is a nice touch if you want just a whisper of sweetness to round out the acidity.
