Packed with creamy avocados, sweet bursts of fresh corn kernels, and zesty lime juice, this low-sodium twist on the classic dip is as flavorful as it is heart-smart. Juicy tomatoes, crisp red onion, and aromatic cilantro bring a medley of textures and bold flavors, while a hint of ground cumin adds an earthy depth.

Whether served with crunchy tortilla chips, vibrant veggies, or as a topping for tacos and salads, this 15-minute, no-cook guacamole is a wholesome, crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for any occasion.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork until they reach your desired level of smoothness or chunkiness.
Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small, uniform pieces and add them to the bowl with the avocados.
If using fresh corn, you can cook the kernels lightly by boiling or steaming for 2-3 minutes, then let them cool before adding to the guacamole. Alternatively, raw fresh corn can also be added for extra crunch.
Finely chop the cilantro and stir it into the avocado mixture.
If you want a bit of heat, finely dice the jalapeño (remove the seeds and ribs for less heat) and add it to the bowl.
Add the fresh lime juice, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if needed, keeping salt to a minimum for a low-sodium recipe.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a topping for tacos or salads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning.
