Title: Olive Oil-Lemon Marinade
Categories: Sauces, Grill
Yield: 1 Cup

2/3 c Olive oil
1 Lemon juiced
1 ts Lemon thyme
Pepper, to taste

Combine all the ingredients in a small container. When brushing on
the vegetables as they grill, swirl the mixture around with a brush
to ensure that the oil & lemon remain well mixed.

Use to baste grilling vegetables as they grill. Works especially well
with broccoli or carrots.
