What is the healthiest Greek meat marinade?

[dubai_suzie]

Hey all! So happy to see this page get more engagement. I’ve recently been getting into healthy cooking, and the Greek/Mediterranean diet has been working so well for me. Does anyone have any advice on a healthy Greek meat marinade? What do you usually add to your meat?

Thanks for stopping by and your question!

The best Greek style marinade that I use for meat, chicken and even fish is the following:

- Lemon
- Sea Salt (or normal salt)
- Pepper
- Garlic powder (not too much)
- LOTs of Greek oregano
- And Greek olive oil

Then marinade in these mixture overnight, put in fridge then cook/grill.

As soon as it come off the grill (for meat and chicken) squeeze a free lemon.

That is my magic Greek style grilling method

Hope this helps!

Hey Suzie, it really depends on what type of meat you’re cooking and how you want to cook it. The healthiest option is to marinade chicken and grill it, which is one of our most popular dishes as well. For chicken, I add lemon, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and oregano. This is the classic, but I also add mustard (high quality is the healthiest), red pepper flakes, paprika and some green onion or cilantro for extra flavor.

Wow this sounds so tasty!! And healthy Thank you. I was hoping someone would comment with a chicken recipe, I’m trying to eat more chicken breast because it has the least amount of fat.
