Really nothing. But if you are really desperate obviously something with less sugar because you want to fall asleep. Don't you?

I would rather eat a fruit, especially after an entire seudah.
But if I were making the sheva brachos, I'd probably put out popcorn, a cake, a bowl of prechecked nuts and a platter of peeled/cut fruit.
I tend to overdo these things Wink

I always say no matter how full you are there's always room for dessert. Chocolates or a piece of cake .

I was thinking way after the meal when everyone is sitting around schmoozing. Yes I would eat salad. I usually feel really stuffed and heavy after the meal so something light and maybe a little crunchy is good.


Maybe its cultural, but on the East Coast of the US, where I live, I cannot see anyone partaking of a vegetable salad after a meal, whether as dessert or if put out while people are socializing after dessert is complete.

If you want to put something out for after-seuda socializing, I'd go with fruit, nuts, chocolates, and possibly some crudites with a dip, if you want the salad vibe.

You're not buying the right fruits or you're not shopping at the right places 😉

I have delicious melons, blueberries and other fruit all winter long.


I'm talking about fruit platters I've sampled at simchas. Hard mango, white pineapple, sawdust watermelon. The honeydew and cantaloupe are usually ok.

I find that the cantelope and honey dew are hard as well.

Apple pie and fruit salad
That way everyone is happy.
We would also put out nuts on small dishes on the table.

Whatever it is make sure it has chocolate! I'm always disappointed when there's nothing with chocolate after the meal, it literally makes my mouth itch

I'm sorry but salad for dessert?!! That's sacrilegious lol
I'd go for cake ALL the way. I am so not one of those ladies who is content with a few nibbles of fruit for dessert. Give me all the cake!!!

canned pineapple diced
celery stalks chopped
and fresh walnuts
mix that all up with some mayonaise
