This classic sauce gribiche is a sophisticated French dressing that brings a vibrant, piquant flavour to various vegetarian and meat dishes. Unlike a standard mayonnaise, it uses hard-boiled egg yolks as an emulsifier, resulting in a rich, chunky texture that is incredibly satisfying. The combination of sharp cornichons, salty capers, and fresh anise-heavy herbs like tarragon and chervil creates a complex profile that lifts even the simplest of ingredients.
While traditionally served with boiled meats or calf’s head, this versatile vegetarian sauce is equally delicious when spooned over steamed leeks, roasted asparagus, or new potatoes. It is an excellent addition to a summer buffet or a sophisticated starter, offering a bright and savoury finish. Prepare it an hour before serving to allow the herbaceous flavours to infuse properly into the creamy base.

Ingredients for Sauce Gribiche
4 hard-cooked eggs
2 hard-cooked egg yolks
1/2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
1/2 Tbs. white-wine vinegar
240ml olive oil
bunch of fresh chervil, chopped
1/2 bunch of fresh tarragon, chopped
60ml capers, drained and chopped
120ml cornichons (tiny, tart pickled gherkins), drained and chopped
How to make Sauce Gribiche
Put the whole eggs and yolks, mustard, and some salt and pepper in a large bowl and mash them well together. To this paste add the vinegar and then the olive oil, drop by drop as if making mayonnaise. Keep the sauce creamy by adding small amounts of vinegar or warm water, as necessary.
Finish the sauce by adding the chopped herbs, capers, and cornichons. Taste and correct the seasoning.
To serve, arrange slices of tongue on plates and drop the sauce on top in small dollops.
