Peppercorn Dressing is the house dressing at South Woods Restaurant, 5404 S. Pennsylvania Ave., in Cudahy.
Larry Burss, proprietor, sent the recipe. He said this is the house dressing and their most popular dressing. "We make probably five gallons at a time, and we make it every week. I personally like it mixed with a buttermilk dressing," he said.
