Brazil Nut Free Lemon Greek Herb Marinade
Bright lemon, fragrant garlic, and a trio of fresh herbs come together in this Mediterranean-style marinade that makes just about any protein taste like it came from a proper Greek kitchen. The combination of oregano, thyme, and rosemary creates a layered, aromatic base, while a pinch of turmeric and ginger add just enough warmth to keep things interesting. Everything gets whisked together with good olive oil and fresh lemon juice in a single bowl — no special equipment, no complicated technique. Store-bought marinades can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain tree nuts, since shared facilities and vague labeling make it hard to know what's actually inside the bottle. Making it from scratch with these straightforward pantry and produce staples puts you completely in control. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to three days, so you can prep ahead and have it ready for weeknight dinners all week long. Whether you're coating chicken, lamb, fish, or vegetables, this marinade delivers bold, sun-drenched flavor that's as versatile as it is satisfying.
