Olive Oil-Lemon Marinade

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

Makes: about 1/2 cup

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• Juice of  1 to 1 1/2 lemons, to taste
• 1 teaspoon lemon thyme, if available
• 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.
