A bright, citrusy, refreshing recipe great for chicken and more!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or juice from one lemon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano, or 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh lemon thyme (or regular), or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
  1. Whisk together oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.
  2. Or put all ingredients in a blender and blend until everything is chopped.
  3. Coat the food thoroughly and refrigerate. For seafood, do not over-marinate because the lemon can firm the texture quickly.
