Prep time10 min

Cook time0 min

Ripe Hass avocados get mashed to your ideal texture — chunky or smooth — then brightened with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. Finely diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro fold in for that classic layered flavor, with a touch of garlic and a whisper of cumin rounding things out. Every ingredient here is simple, whole, and easy to control, which makes this a natural fit for anyone watching sodium closely. Serve it up with tortilla chips for a fresh, crowd-pleasing dip that comes together in minutes and tastes like the real thing. It's a solid go-to for a low sodium spread without sacrificing any of the bright, punchy flavor guacamole is known for.
