AVOCADO WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO
Adapted from BHG "Holiday Appetizers" magazine. The dressing can be made ahead and kept in the fridge, but don't prepare the avocados until just before serving or they will turn brown.

- Slice each avocado half into 4 wedges and wrap a proscuitto strip around each in the center.
- Shake the dressing if the ingredients have settled and test for flavor-adjust seasonings if needed (although proscuitto is often very salty- be careful not to add salt unless you really like things very salty).
