Quesadillas were originally on the menu for dinner, but I needed a vegetable side dish to go along with them. So I spent my yoga class dreaming up a Mexican-inspired coleslaw. My mind is supposed to be clear and focused on yoga and I’m thinking about food. Shocking, isn’t it?
Maybe it was the clear yoga mind, or maybe not, but regardless, this dressing was creamy, bright and full of lime flavor. Perfectly refreshing after non-focused hot yoga. We served it alongside quesadillas but it would be amazing as a topping for fish tacos or nachos.
