Then, slice 1/2 avocado into 10 thin, 1-inch long strips and set on a place.
Next, place 10 2-inch slices of smoked salmon on a place, and spread softened cream cheese mixture on each strip. Lay one slice of avocado in the center 0f the strip, allowing the edges of the salmon to remain uncovered by avocado.
Fold both sides of salmon over avocado and secure with a toothpick. Chill for 1-2 hours and serve.
