This marinade is perfect for eggplants, zucchinis, peppers, and mushrooms, helping to highlight their natural juiciness and structure. In Greece, such marinades are widely used to add freshness and rich flavor to grilled vegetables, making them an excellent complement to meat dishes or a standalone snack. It can also be used as a base for dressings and sauces, creating new culinary masterpieces.
