Some Trader Joe's brand food are low-sodium. They have salsa chips and soy chips (almost like corn chips) that have a reasonable sodium level per serving. And some of their salsas and maybe pasta sauces - you have to check the labels.

Baked goods are often high in sodium but it varies - I've seen different brands of tortilas that ranged from around 100mg (not bad) to 400mg (way too high) per tortilla.

It sounds like you're probably not interested in baking - if you are, there is a low-sodium baking powder, Featherweight. But it is *not* equivalent to regular baking powder, I use about twice as much Featherweight, and/or add a small amount (1/4 tsp) of regular for a boost.

There are low-sodium canned beans, I use Eden organic. You could make your own hummus or bean dip to use with chips by blending with garlic, lemon juice, tahini (for hummus), maybe some roasted red peppers.

Or marinate chicken with lime/lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.

Good luck with this!
