Here’s a healthy no-salt-added breakfast that tastes good, and is just as good for you! This low sodium avocado toast is a staple on our homestead, we enjoy it for weekend brunches, especially after making our low sodium bread as the base. It’s an easy and healthy meal that is ready quick – in just 10 or 15 minutes.
I love the balance of flavor in this toast: it’s a little spicy, a little sweet, creamy, and crunchy. You can add your favorite toppings too: veggies, sprouts, a fried egg, or just fresh cracked black pepper for flavor. The amount of sodium you use really depends on the bread, so be sure that you select a low sodium bread that meets your dietary needs.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- Avocado, Tomatoes, Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Onion Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily!
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
- Lemon Juice – Use fresh lemons if you have it!
- Low Sodium Bread: You can use homemade bread, or a store-bought loaf – just make sure to check the labels. Right now, we are enjoying Dave’s Killer Seeded bread which has the lowest amount of sodium for one slice that I can find (if you have any low so bread recommendations – please send me a note). Either way you will have delicious avo toast. Sourdough bread typically has less sodium that normal bread, so you may be able to get store bought (but check the labels to make sure the sodium content fits in with your dietary needs)

Substitutions and Variations

- Add fresh herbs for a great flavor: parsley, cilantro, or basil are all fantastic options.
- You can use fresh lime juice instead of lemon.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: Place slices of bread on a sheet pan, and place in the oven. Broil the bread over low heat until it is crispy and toasted on each side (my oven is about 2-3 minutes each side). Always watch the bread as your broil it so it doesn’t burn. Peel the clove of garlic, and rub it on the surface of the toast.
Step 2: Cut your avocado in half, and remove the pit. With a spoon, remove the ripe avocado flesh and place in a bowl.
Step 3: To the avocado, add the onion powder, chili flakes, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 4: Mash the avocado with a fork until the avocado and spices are well combined.
Step 5: Add the mashed avocado on top of the toasted bread.
Step 6: Top with fresh tomatoes and salt-free pickled onions. Enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
This avocado toast recipe has ~105 mg sodium per slice. I used bread that was 100mg per slice, but that may vary based on the ingredients you use in your kitchen.
Add sliced radish, cucumber, fresh herbs, or even roasted vegetables for extra flavor! For a heartier breakfast, I like to add a fried or poached egg on top as well.
Avocados can start to brown once cut, but if you make the avocado mash (with the onion powder, chili flakes, and lemon juice) the lemon juice will keep the avocado from browning. I prefer to prepare it fresh, but it can be made ahead of time if you add lemon to the avocado mixture before refrigerating.
