From debates over adding eggs to the ethics of radish, the tension only ended when the couple finally negotiated a unique "Family Fusion" recipe that blended their personal tastes and saved the Christmas mood. Now a family favorite that has traveled all the way to Costa Rica, this salad relies on one secret: the specific flavor of German pickled gherkins to achieve its signature zing.
