I'm not sure I would say that. While green sauces are going to be a green color and have an herb/plant/veggie taste, I would think they very quite a lot depending upon what they are made of. 

At least here in the southwest US many green sauces include peppers, which were mostly unknown in Europe until well past the 14th century. They're also usually much spicier than what I think of as medieval green sauces.

For some of the green sauces we've discussed previously see:
