Step 1

Place the smoked salmon in the center of a large circular platter. Surround the salmon with all the accoutrements – cream cheese, red onion, cucumbers, crackers and pistachios.

Step 2

Place capers, red onion and lemons in smaller bowls, if you’d like, then place on the platter. Place dill scattered throughout the board.

Step 3

Fill in any of the holes on the board with additional crackers, nuts, herbs and other fall decor (I used a little brass pumpkin).

Step 4

Make sure you place utensils on the board, if needed, like cheese knives, a small fork (for the salmon), a discard bowl (for pistachio shells – and anything else that cannot be eaten), small tongs, etc.

Step 5

Serve.
