Green sauce

Green sauce is a family of cold, uncooked sauces based on herbs, including the Italian salsa verde, the French sauce verte, the Spanish salsa verde, the German Grüne Soße or Frankfurter Grie Soß (Frankfurt dialect), and the Argentinian chimichurri.

The Mexican salsa verde, though also called a "green sauce" is instead based on tomatillos.
