Tree Nut Free Lemon Greek Herb Marinade
Bright, herby, and deeply aromatic, this Mediterranean-inspired marinade brings together fresh lemon, garlic, and a trio of garden herbs for a flavor that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. The combination of oregano, thyme, and rosemary creates that unmistakable Greek-style backbone, while a touch of turmeric and ginger adds subtle warmth and a gorgeous golden hue. Everything whisks together in a single bowl in just a few minutes, making it one of the most effortless ways to elevate chicken, lamb, fish, or even vegetables before they hit the grill or oven. Because it's built entirely from whole, straightforward pantry and produce staples, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — every ingredient is exactly what it says it is. The recipe also includes a smart tip about reserving a separate portion before the marinade ever touches raw protein, so you can still finish your dish with a clean, safe drizzle. It keeps in the fridge for up to three days, which means you can make a batch at the start of the week and have bold, fresh flavor ready to go whenever you need it.
