Wheat Free Herb & Garlic Italian Marinade

This bright, herbaceous marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple piece of chicken or a handful of roasted vegetables 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 bring layers of fragrance that dried herbs just 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 be able to put your finger on, but you'll definitely notice if they're missing. Store-bought Italian dressings and marinades are notorious for sneaking in thickeners and flavor additives that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding wheat — this one is made entirely from whole, naturally grain-free ingredients, so there's nothing to second-guess. It comes together in under a minute of whisking, and it keeps in the fridge for up to five days, making it easy to prep ahead for the week. Use it as a marinade, a quick drizzle over grilled vegetables, or even a dipping sauce for something crusty on the side.
