herb sauce

Leafy flavor topping

A sauce flavored primarily with fresh or dried herbs—parsley, basil, cilantro, dill, or similar aromatics.

Herb sauces range from creamy preparations like béarnaise to oil-based ones like chimichurri or pesto.

The term is broad and descriptive rather than denoting any specific recipe: The fish came with a light herb sauce.
