 If you are looking for a way to spice up basic meat dishes like grilled steak, baked chicken, or sautéed shrimp, marinate them in an oil-based salad dressing. Any variety of Italian or Vinagrette will do. The oil helps to keep the meat moist & the flavorings will add that little zip you are looking for to fancy it up. It’s like the instant marinade in a bottle. With so many varieties these days you can try different ones to find your own favorite recipe.
