Select a large rectangular platter, tray, or wood bread board. This tree shaped cutting board with cheese knives would make a great serving board. Lay various ingredients on the board from bottom to top. Create wider lines at the bottom, working each row a bit smaller towards the top to create a triangle tree shape.
Begin with crackers, then Mennonite sausage, Swiss cheese, chorizo, pickles and cubed cheese.
Tip: Be sure to keep wet ingredients like pickles apart from things like crackers.
Add the smoked salmon and almonds to the remaining space at the top of the tree.
Finally, use a star shape to adorn the top of the tree.
