Recipe Introduction
Belsinger and Dille write: "This tangy dressing goes well with all kinds of salad greens and is especially good with cucumbers and summer-ripe tomatoes. Pour it over steamed and sliced new potatoes for a delicious warm potato salad. Coarsely crack the peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or use the flat side of a chefs knife to crack them on a cutting board. The dressing will keep, in a tightly covered jar, in the refrigerator for about a week."
