Fresh Herb Marinade Direct From The Garden

Fresh Herb Marinade

When making the Herb Marinade consider this: whether the ingredients used are fresh from a summer's picking or dried, this marinade is delicious any time of the year. Use with your favorite meat cuts, fresh poultry, fresh fish or grilled vegetables. Or try using as a salad dressing on some fresh Butter Lettuce...delicious!

Remember: when picking your fresh herbs for this marinade, pick in the morning once the morning dew is off the plants (the plants are dry) and before the heat of the day.
