Paleo Herb & Garlic Italian Marinade

This bright, herbaceous marinade is the kind of thing that makes simple grilled chicken or roasted vegetables taste like they came from a proper Italian kitchen. Extra-virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar form the base, layered with fresh oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary for an aroma that hits you the second you open the jar. A pinch of turmeric and ginger add a subtle warmth that feels unexpected but completely right. Lemon zest and fresh lemon juice keep everything lively and sharp, cutting through the richness of the oil in the best way possible. Bottled Italian dressings and marinades are notorious for sneaking in sugar, canola oil, and preservatives that have no place in a grain-free, whole-foods kitchen — this one skips all of that without sacrificing any depth of flavor. Every ingredient here is clean and intentional, and the optional honey is the only call you need to make depending on how strictly you're eating. It comes together in under two minutes, keeps in the fridge for up to five days, and works beautifully on everything from steak to zucchini. Once you have a batch on hand, you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
