A scrumptious relish to dip into as you prepare for Thanksgiving! Easy to put together and is vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and figure friendly:)
Appetizers and snacks are a huge part of the holidays at our home. I like to cook together as a family so even as we are preparing the meals, we have various appetizers/ munchies laid out and I find myself snacking the most!
So I am happy to have a figure friendly relish in the mix. This festive and tempting relish goes well with tortilla chips or baked pita crisps and is the most popular dip at parties!
Here is a look at the vegetables and fruit in this quick and easy recipe-
Cranberry Avocado and Pear Relish
Ingredients-
- ½ cup fresh cranberries, cut in half
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ small onion diced
- 1 small plum tomato, diced
- ½ green chili pepper, diced very fine (or to taste)
- Handful of cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 ripe pear, cored and diced
- 1 avocado, pitted and flesh scooped out
- Juice of ½ lime
- Kosher salt to taste
To make the relish-
- In a bowl, combine the cut cranberries and the sugar. Set it aside while you dice the onion, tomato, green chili pepper, the cilantro leaves, pear and avocado.
- Combine all the diced vegetables and fruit with the cranberries. Add the lime juice and the salt and toss to combine.
- Serve with tortilla or pita chips.
Enjoy!
I have not been to Fiesta Friday in a long time and have missed seeing my friends there. I am joining the party at Angie’s, if she will still have me, with this relish and some chips! It is co-hosted this week by two lovely blogger friends, Loretta and Petra
Have a great weekend all!
Love,
Sandhya
That looks really good!

Delicious bowl of super food. Totally yummy and so festive with those cranberries.
Thank you Suzanne!
What an interesting combination! I would never have thought of cranberries and avocado together – I mentally have them in the Northeast and Southwest slots, I guess… LOL but I totally see the flavors balancing. Cool.
Thank you so much Anne! I think living in the cold northeast I long for the avocados from the warm south west:) I love to experiment with flavors and was glad that this worked so well.Thank you so much for visiting!
Wonderful combination! 🙂
Thank you so much, Ronit!
Looks very refreshing Sandhya.

Welcome to Fiesta Friday Sandhya, thanks so much for bringing along this bright and festive dressing. I love all the different fruit/veggies in that bowl. It’s a nice twist to the regular dressing served around Thanksgiving. I’m sure I’d be digging into that bowl if it were anywhere near me too :). Of course we’ve missed you at Fiesta Friday, but so happy that you were able to spread your beautiful dishes with us. Happy Thanksgiving and happy weekend 🙂
That looks delicious – love the sound of the sharp onion and fiery chilis with the sweetness of the mango and pear and the creaminess of the avocado.
Oh this looks yummy! I love avocado in everything so I know that I would love this.
I am a big avocado fan too Jemma! Do try this relish for sure!
I love the seasonality and freshness of this relish, just perfect for the holidays and I am thinking it might be great at Christmas! 🙂 Thank you for bringing this to Fiesta Friday!
Thank you so much Petra!

Hi Sandhya, just made this recently and it was a great hit and a wonderful combination of flavors that everyone loved. Minor substituion of pomegranates(I had many of these at home) for the cranberries, but still it was a great hit with young and the old. Thank you.
Thank you so much Vani for letting me know.The pomegranates will be a great substitution in this recipe. I love pomegranates too:)
I like cranberries added to our turkey stuffing also. I think this sweet and tangy combination sounds delicious and only fifteen minutes to prepare! Thank you for telling me you just got back from India, Sandhya. I am glad it was enjoyable and you got back safe and sound! hugs xo
Thanks Robin! Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
Welcome recipe for thanks giving day.
