Best Store Bought Marinades

The best store bought marinades are marinades that don't have a lot of ingredients. And you need to check those ingredients to make sure they are healthy AND real.

Hands down my favorite marinade is from the "Weber Just Add Juice Line." Now these aren't the best in terms of ingredients (they still list xanthan gum and food starch-modified) BUT compared to everything else they are pretty darn good. You just add whatever kind of juice the particular marinade calls for- NO oils and marinade your meat! My favorite is the lemon pepper, but we have also had the garlic and herb, sesame ginger, and teriyaki. Weber makes another line of marinades- but they are not as clean as the just add juice line AND they ask you to add oil.

My second favorite marinade? Why just some Mrs. Dash of course! I use the tomato and basil or the extra spicy but there are like a billion that you can choose from. I take about 2-3 T of the mix, and mix it with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and about 3T lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Mix together and marinade!

I have also used most of the salad dressings on my blog as marinades too- but I prefer the two options shown above.
