Place in a colander over a bowl, salt lightly, and let sit for 15\u201320 minutes to draw out the moisture. Alternatively, if you prefer an al dente texture, skip this step and spiralize right before serving to avoid having the noodles sit too long.<\/p>\n<p>Mix all the ingredients for the pico de gallo in a bowl and refrigerate.<\/p>\n<p>Blend all the ingredients for the avocado sauce in a food processor or blender until smooth, adding 1\u20132 tablespoons water if needed.<\/p>\n<p>Pat the zucchini noodles dry with a paper napkin. Add the black beans and avocado sauce and toss to combine.<\/p>\n<p>Garnish with pico de gallo and serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If making your own black beans, use \u00bc cup dried beans. For a less spicy sauce, seed the jalape\u00f1o before adding it to the blender.<\/p>\n<p>Store the avocado sauce refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Squeezing a lemon over the top will help reduce oxidation and keep the top layer from turning brown. If it bothers you, you can also simply skim off the top layer to reveal fresher-looking sauce below.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\"> Reprinted with permission from <em>Reprinted with permission from THE VEGETARIAN RESET by Vasudha Viswanath, The Collective Book Studio, January 2023.
