Tips:

  • Choose fresh lemon balm: The fresher the lemon balm, the more flavorful your marinade or dressing will be. Look for bright green leaves with no signs of wilting or browning.
  • Use a variety of herbs: In addition to lemon balm, you can also use other herbs in your marinade or dressing, such as basil, thyme, rosemary, or oregano. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor.
  • Let the meat or vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give the flavors time to penetrate the food and make it more flavorful.
  • Use the marinade as a sauce: Once you've cooked the meat or vegetables, you can use the remaining marinade as a sauce. This will add extra flavor and moisture to your dish.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: The recipes in this article are just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique marinade or dressing.

Conclusion:

Lemon balm is a versatile herb that can be used to make delicious marinades and salad dressings. Its bright, citrusy flavor can brighten up any dish. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or baking, a lemon balm marinade or dressing will add a touch of freshness and flavor to your food. So next time you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meals, give lemon balm a try. You won't be disappointed.
