This is what I call my “All Purpose” Greek Marinade, because you can use it on just about anything. I use it on chicken and vegetables the most, but it is amazing on steaks and lamb too. I will marinate the meat for about 30 minutes before cooking, but with vegetables you only need 10-15 minutes, due to the high acidity content in the lemon. Don’t over marinate or you food will fall apart!

Can I ask where you got the tiny red crock? Do you store salt in it?
Used this last night for our steaks and veggies… fabulous! Thanks so much.
Kelly,
thank you so much for your recipes. I love to have great recipes that take little time and taste great. I have gotten many from your site. I love that you feature recipes that incorporate “on sale” ingredients. I love to cook, but get bored with the same things. Thanks,
