These Prosciutto and Salmon Wraps are the ultimate elegant appetizer, combining the rich, buttery texture of ripe avocados with the salty sophistication of cured meats. Each bite offers a perfect balance of flavors: the mild creaminess of the avocado is elevated by the sharp, briny notes of prosciutto or the smoky depth of salmon. Finished with a bright squeeze of fresh citrus, these wraps cut through the richness, leaving a refreshing finish. They are incredibly easy to assemble yet look stunning on any platter. Perfect for holiday parties, summer gatherings, or as a quick, no-cook lunch that feels indulgent. Serve them chilled for a crisp contrast or at room temperature to let the flavors fully bloom.

Directions
-
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel the skin. Slice each half into four even wedges, yielding 8 slices per avocado.
-
Take one slice of prosciutto and one slice of smoked salmon. Lay them flat on a cutting board.
-
Place an avocado wedge at one end of the meat slice. Gently roll or fold the meat diagonally around the avocado to create a neat wrap.
-
Repeat this process with the remaining avocado slices and meat, alternating between prosciutto and salmon for variety.
-
Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon or lime wedges and serve immediately.
Note
To prevent the avocados from browning, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the slices immediately after cutting.
You can use either prosciutto or salmon for all wraps, or mix and match for a diverse platter.
These wraps are best served fresh but can be assembled up to 30 minutes in advance. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
