Healthy Grilling Marinades

Mediterranean

Lemon is natural digestive aid and can help break down the proteins in meat, poultry, fish—even beans and eggs. This marinade, according to La Puma is the second-highest in antioxidant power of all marinades and complements the Mediterranean Diet.

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 Tsp Mediterranean spice mix

Make your own Mediterranean spice mix:

• 3 Tbsp dried rosemary
• 2 Tbsp ground cumin
• 2 Tbsp ground coriander
• 1 Tbsp dried oregano
• 1/2 Tsp sea salt
• 2 Tsp cinnamon

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. For every 1 lb. Boneless or 2 lb. meat with bone, add 2 tablespoons of the Mediterranean mixture. Makes 1/3 cup. Let it store for 24 hours—or at least 10 minutes for quicker serving.
