My 3 "must haves" for a perfect marinade: Acid (lemon, lime), an oil (usually EVOO) and spices. The rest depends on your taste! Options for a yummy marinade include: honey, BBQ sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, cilantro, avocado oil etc.
The other day, I was craving seafood and when I looked in my fridge, I had EVERYTHING I needed for the perfect marinade!! This doesn't happen often at all so let me share this easy recipe with you guys. Hopefully, you will have all of these ingredients but if you don't, you can remix this recipe.
YOU WILL NEED
-1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
-1 tablespoon mustard
-1 tablespoon of champagne vinegar (optional, but makes a BIG difference)
-The juice of 1/2 a lime
-1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
-1 tablespoon of your favorite herbs: I like to use a mix of fresh flat leave Italian parley and basil
-1 garlic clove, minced very very very thinly
-Spices of your choice: I used salt and freshly grounded pepper
SO!
Whip everything together.
