Relish trays have graduated from Grandma’s go-to appetizer to a modern crowd-pleaser.  Unlike charcuterie boards, which spotlight cured meats, relish trays lean into crisp produce for a lighter spread. Think of them as a no-cook canvas: bright pickles, raw or blanched veggies, a swipe of creamy dip, plus a few wedges of sharp cheese and whole-grain crackers. Everything can be prepped quickly or ahead of time, then arranged just before guests arrive, so you get maximum flavor with minimal fuss. Whether you’re hosting a game-day gathering or adding color to your holiday buffet, recipes like our Chopped Waldorf Salad Dip and our Cucumber Cream Cheese Rolls deserve a spot on your relish tray this season.
