We usually do small appetizers, though. I've done prosciutto wrapped melon, marinated mozzarella, roasted asparagus, baked brie, soup in shot glasses, and mini ceviches in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959670 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:52:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1959670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of this before!</p> <p>Pickles...

We also serve a bowl of Ruffles on the side to dip too. We have to refill the relish tray twice because of that damn addicting dip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959606 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:22:58 +0000 jetsa 1959606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: my grandfather loves them so that's why we include them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959603 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:22:27 +0000 jetsa 1959603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: we have a relish tray and a veggie tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959601 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:21:32 +0000 swurlygurl 1959601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Typically, yes. DH's family doesn't touch the veggies though, so at the end of the day there were old dried out carrots/celery/broccoli and crusty ranch. That was before I married-in and became in charge of the relish tray. I put my own spin on it to mix it up a bit. One year I made it a fruit relish tray (kiwi, mangoes, pineapple, grapes, strawberries), another year I did meats/cheeses/olives/nuts, another year I did 'different' veggies (zucchini slices, green beans, snap peas, mushrooms) with different flavors of hummus.</p> <p>@blackbird: Love those! I'd probably eat them all before they made it on the tray ;)</p> <p>@jetsa: Green onions?! I've never heard of anyone snacking on green onions</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I don't know that I've ever seen Brazil nuts in my stores... those would be a great add! And &lt;3 sun dried tomatoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959591 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:16:06 +0000 looch 1959591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So wait, the relish tray isn't the veggie tray?</p> <p>We have antipasto, in my Italian family...olives, cured meats, cheeses, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959585 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:12:09 +0000 jetsa 1959585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our family a relish tray is just green onions, pickles (all the kinds!) and olives.</p> <p>My favorite are the sweet pickles or kosher spears </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959570 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:04:58 +0000 blackbird 1959570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the blue cheese stuffed olives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959565 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:01:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1959565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nuts! Pistachios b/c they are green. Brazilian nuts b/c they are round.</p> <p>sun- dried tomatos<br /> sweet peppers<br /> cherry tomatoes lightly drizzled in olive oil &amp; oregano </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959564 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:01:14 +0000 looch 1959564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like English cucumber, carrots, red/yellow/orange bell pepper, radishes and grape tomatoes uncooked. I like string beans, zucchini, summer squash and asparagus spears steamed then cooled down.</p> <p>I won't go near uncooked brocolli or cauliflower. Not a fan of celery because most people don't take the time to pull of all the strings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-relish-tray#post-1959557 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 10:58:22 +0000 swurlygurl 1959557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Thanksgiving I've been tasked with the relish tray. I love to cook, so this is always annoying to me, but I try to get past that and make it fun. I usually get pretty into it and put together a nice spread, but this year I'm just too mentally worn out from K that I haven't thought about it at all.</p> <p>So now I'd just rather put together a tray of favorites. What are your favorite items that you actually eat from a relish tray?.</p> <p>Some of our faves are: mini pickles, olives and tomatoes. </p>
