Steps:
- In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon juice, let it soften for 10 minutes, and heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved. In a food processor purée the avocado with the cream cheese, the horseradish, and the gelatin mixture until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, and stir the mixture until it is thickened to the consistency of thick mayonnaise.
- Arrange the smoked salmon slices, overlapping them slightly, on a sheet of plastic wrap to form a 17- by 7-inch rectangle and spread them with the avocado mixture, leaving 1/2-inch border. Using the plastic wrap as an aid and beginning with a long side roll up the smoked salmon jelly-roll fashion, wrap it in the plastic wrap, and twist the ends of the plastic wrap closed. Chill the smoked salmon roll for 3 hours, or until it is frim and the filling is set.
- With a 1 1/2-inch round cutter cut out rounds from the pumpernickel, reserving the scraps for another use. Remove the plastic wrap from the salmon roll carefully on a cutting board and with and electric knife or other very sharp knife cut it crosswise int 1/4-inch slices. Arrange each salmon roll slice on a pumpernickel round and garnish each canapé with a parsley sprig and 2 short sections of chive. The canapés keep, covered tightly with plastic wrap and chilled, for 2 hours.

SMOKED SALMON AND AVOCADO WRAPS
This recipe is from James Reeson of Alive and Cooking show Australia. I found it to be a delightful, light and delicious lunch, I only made a half recipe which calls for mountain bread which is a square flat bread which measures about 11" x 11". You can make this ahead as an appertizer serving in bite size pieces or take for a lunch whole, I have put the serving size as 1 as being in a wrap for one person.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe avocados, thinly sliced smoked salmon, and freshly grated horseradish for the best flavor.
- Make sure the avocados are ripe: Unripe avocados will be hard and difficult to slice. Ripe avocados will be slightly soft to the touch and will yield to gentle pressure.
- Slice the avocados and smoked salmon thinly: This will help them roll up easily and will make them more delicate to eat.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the avocados: A dull knife will crush the avocados and make them difficult to slice evenly.
- Grate the horseradish fresh: Freshly grated horseradish has a much stronger flavor than prepared horseradish. If you don't have fresh horseradish, you can use prepared horseradish, but use less of it.
- Don't overfill the avocado slices: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll up and will fall apart.
- Sprinkle the avocado slices with lemon juice: This will help prevent them from browning.
- Serve the avocado spirals immediately: They are best when served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Smoked salmon, avocado, and horseradish spirals are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes. The combination of smoky salmon, creamy avocado, and spicy horseradish is simply irresistible. These spirals are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
