-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering your ripe avocados, smoked salmon slices, and lime wedges. Ensure that the avocados are ripe yet firm enough to hold their shape when sliced.
-
Slice the Avocados:
- Carefully halve the avocados and remove the pits. Then, slice each half into quarters, resulting in 8 avocado wedges in total.
-
Wrap with Salmon:
- Take a slice of smoked salmon and wrap it around each avocado wedge, ensuring that the creamy flesh is fully encased by the savory salmon. The contrast of textures and flavors is key to this appetizer’s appeal.
-
Secure with Picks:
- To prevent the salmon from unraveling, gently secure each wrapped avocado wedge with a toothpick. This step ensures that your appetizers remain intact and presentable.
-
Garnish with Lime:
- Squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the avocado and salmon bundles to add a zesty brightness that enhances the overall taste. Additionally, garnish each appetizer with a lime wedge for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Tips:
- For an added flavor dimension, consider sprinkling some finely diced red onion or chives over the finished appetizers. The subtle bite of onion complements the richness of the avocado and salmon beautifully.
- To ensure that your avocados retain their vibrant green color, serve the appetizers immediately after assembling them. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from discoloring.
- Feel free to customize this recipe to your liking by incorporating additional ingredients such as diced tomatoes, cilantro, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness.
