First time I hear about a "relish tray" after a quick googling it looks like a regionalim term equivalent to a "vegetable tray" Also see this : english.stackexchange.com/questions/91497/…– MaxJul 28, 2017 at 13:06

1The terms tend to be largely interchangeable in my experience and somewhat regional, but yes, relish tray tends to be used a bit more often when preserved and pickled items are included, while vegetable tray seems more common when the tray is all or mostly fresh veggies. I think few would consider either to ever be wrong though.– dlbJul 28, 2017 at 15:59

A relish tray emphasizes, but isn't necessarily exclusively comprised of, preserved/pickled vegetables.
