It is typically served with cooked vegetables, grilled seafood, or meat. Unlike other French sauces, Sauce Gribiche is not heavy and overpowering. It is a subtle sauce that adds a tangy flavor to any dish. The use of fresh herbs like tarragon, parsley, and chives adds an additional layer of flavor to the sauce.
