NOTES:
Meal prep tip: if I know I want to use this greek-ish grilling marinade later in the week, I’ll whip up up a batch on Sunday night or whenever I’m meal prepping for the week. It only takes 5 minutes, & storing it in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator helps the flavors meld together even more. The night before you want to use it, simply pour the marinade over whatever meat or veggies you’re grilling up. It couldn’t be easier!
It doubles as a really great salad dressing: Reserve some of your Greek marinade for drizzling over a Greek salad filled with cucumbers, bell peppers, feta & kalamata olives. You won’t regret it!
