Prosciutto/Salmon Wraps
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.

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.- 4
Repeat this process with the remaining avocado slices and meat, alternating between prosciutto and salmon for variety.- 5
Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon or lime wedges and serve immediately.NoteTo prevent the avocados from browning, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the slices immediately after cutting.
