Peanut Free Lemon Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this Mediterranean-inspired marinade is the kind of thing that makes a simple weeknight protein feel genuinely special. Fresh lemon juice and zest bring a sharp citrus punch, while oregano, thyme, and rosemary layer in that unmistakable Greek countryside warmth. A touch of turmeric and ginger adds subtle earthiness and a gorgeous golden hue without overpowering the herbs. Everything comes together in one bowl with a quick whisk — no cooking, no fuss, and no mystery ingredients to stress over. Because it's built entirely from whole, recognizable pantry staples and fresh herbs, you can feel confident about exactly what's going into your meal. It keeps in the fridge for up to three days, so you can make a batch ahead and have it ready to go whenever dinner needs a serious upgrade. Just remember to set aside a separate drizzle before the marinade touches any raw protein — it's too good to waste.
