Instructions

Notes
*The nutrition serving size is 1 tablespoon.
- Feel free to add additional herbs and spices to this marinade. Freshly chopped parsley and/or dill go great with bold lemon flavors.
- Pork, chicken, and beef are best if left to marinate overnight. Vegetables and seafood only need about an hour.
- Once stored, the leftover lemon pepper marinade will separate. Simply give the container a good shake and it should be good to go again.
- Be sure to discard any marinade that came in contact with raw meat.
- Use green Tabasco for great flavor without the heat.
