What is on a relish tray?

[TraciWA]

Honestly, I have never made one before. I know pickles and black olives. But what else?

I think it can really be anything you want. PP mentioned good choices, you could also do pickeled veggies (like for anitpasto), other kinds of olives (stuffed, Kalamata, etc) Some of those Italian meat slices (proscuttio, pepperoni, etc). But depending on who is using the term it could also be any kind of cheese/sausage tray or a veggie/dip tray (at least in my family a relish tray would really be any kind of snacky finger foods)

My Mom always had celery, carrot sticks, radishes and black and green olives on a "relish tray".

We always have at least 2 kinds of pickles (sweet and dill) and both black and green olives.

I usually do olives (black and green), pickles (dill and/or sweet gherkins), baby corn, cherry tomatoes, pickled okra... I've also seen them have the little cocktail onions and marinated veggies.

Sweet and dill pickles, black and green olives, and....spiced apple rings! So junky, but so yummy and festive.

Mine would have some combination of carrot sticks, radishes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and french onion dip.

Thanks for all the ideas! I am so glad I have the hive! :001_smile:

I make a cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and get a few kinds of olives and pickles. I really don't know why we do the olives and pickles because no one really eats them much. I don't know that the eggs belong but that's where they are here.
