Macadamia Free Herb & Garlic Italian Marinade
This bright, herbaceous marinade is the kind of thing that makes weeknight dinners feel like something special. Extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar form the base, while fresh oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary pile on layers of classic Italian flavor that bottled dressings simply can't match. A hit of lemon zest and juice keeps everything lively, and the optional honey nudges it toward a beautifully balanced finish. Turmeric and ginger add a subtle warmth that you might not expect but will absolutely notice. Many store-bought marinades sneak in nut-derived oils or are processed on shared lines, so mixing this up yourself means you know exactly what's going in. It comes together in under a minute of whisking, stores in the fridge for up to five days, and works beautifully on chicken, vegetables, or anything else you want to throw on the grill.
