When you want a salad dressing with some fun pops of texture and flavor, try this vinaigrette. It’s also great drizzled over slow-cooked meats (like this easy slow-cooker pork) or roasted vegetables to brighten things up. I love pickled peppercorns so much; they’re basically like extra spicy capers. But if you can’t find them, you can absolutely use capers instead here.
