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 chef's
knife to crack them on a cutting board. The dressing
will keep, in a tightly covered jar, in the
refrigerator for about a week."

From Susan Belsinger and Carolyn Dille's "Peppercorns
Around the World" article in "The Herb Companion."
