4 scallions, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons finely grated lime zest

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Tips:

Choose the right yogurt for your marinade. Plain yogurt is a good all-purpose option, but you can also use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier marinade.
Fresh herbs and spices are essential for a flavorful marinade. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a complex flavor profile.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add citrus fruits, vegetables, or even nuts to your marinade.
Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat.
When you're ready to cook the meat, drain the marinade and pat the meat dry. This will help the meat brown evenly.

Conclusion:

Yogurt-mint-lime marinade is a versatile and flavorful marinade that can be used on a variety of meats. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or baking, a yogurt-mint-lime marinade will help you create delicious and tender meat dishes.
