Legume Free Herb & Garlic Italian Marinade

This bright, herbaceous marinade is the kind of thing that makes everything it touches taste like it came from a proper Italian kitchen. Extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar form the base, while fresh oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary pile on layers of fragrant, garden-fresh flavor. A hit of lemon zest and juice keeps it lively, and the turmeric and ginger add a subtle warmth that you might not be able to place but absolutely will not want to leave out. Many store-bought marinades and dressings sneak in soy, chickpea flour, or other legume-derived thickeners, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to stay confident about what's actually going in your food. Every single ingredient here is straightforwardly whole and plant-based in the best, uncomplicated sense. Whisk it together in minutes, use it right away on chicken, vegetables, or grilled fish, or stash it in a jar in the fridge for up to five days. The optional honey rounds out the acidity just enough to make the whole thing feel polished without tipping into sweet territory.
