Pink Peppercorns (Schinus Terebinthifolius) are not true Peppercorns, but are the dried fruit of the Baies Rose Plant. These berries are highly prized by the french for their delicious, peppery flavor. Pink Peppercorns have a delicate pepper flavor and impart a light rose color to food. Peppercorns are one of the most commonly used spices. Peppercorns account for 1/4 of the global spice trade. The first documentation of Peppercorn use is found in South Asia, from the 4th century BC. Pink peppercorns are from the Peruvian pepper tree, a different plant completely than other peppercorns. Pink peppercorns are fruitier and more delicate than other types of peppercorns and are a great addition to a salad or dip where their flavor won't be overpowered. Combine 1/2 teaspoon ground pink peppercorns with 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, lemon juice and salt for a light salad dressing.
