Olive Oil-Lemon Marinade

This basic marinade is excellent for grilling vegetables. The tang of lemon juice balances the fruity taste of the olive oil.

Makes: about ½ cup

• ½ cup olive oil
• Juice of  1 to 1 ½ lemons, to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon thyme, if available
  otherwise, substitute a dried Italian seasoning blend
• 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients in a small container. When brushing on vegetables, swirl the mixture around with the brush often to keep the oil and lemon combined.
