Instructions
 

  • Slice your cheese and sausage into desired shapes. I used squares for the cheese and sliced circles for the summer sausage.
    Be sure to cut a few extra pieces of cheese for the tree’s stump and five cheese triangles to make the star at the top of the tree.
  • Wash cherry tomatoes and parsley and allow them to dry thoroughly. Set aside.
  • On your cutting board or serving platter, start at the bottom and lay down the cheese first to make the tree stump. Add a row of tomatoes, then a row of parsley, then some more cheese, then crackers, then sausage, all the way up.
  • Be sure to make the rows at the bottom of the tree the widest, then narrow them down as you go up to get that triangular Christmas tree look.
  • Once you have gotten close to the top, add a small amount of parsley and create the star at the top of the tree with the 5 triangle pieces of cheese and one tomato.
