   mayonnaise in a small bowl until mixture is smooth and

   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.”
