Mint sauce is a green sauce originating in the United Kingdom,[1][2] made from finely chopped spearmint (Mentha spicata) leaves soaked in vinegar, and a small amount of sugar.[3][4][5][6][7] Lime juice is sometimes added. The sauce based on mint and vinegar has a rather thin consistency and is flecked with chopped leaves of the herb. In British and Irish cuisine it is often served as a condiment for roast lamb or, in some areas, mushy peas.
