Calling all hot dog lovers! This Chicago Hot Dog Salad is PERFECT for all your summer parties! It's got all the fixins' of the classic Chicago hot dog, but in salad form.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
- 1 heaping tsp. granulated sugar
- 4 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced and roughly chopped
- 8 oz. cabbage blend for slaw salads
- 1 romaine heart, shredded
- 2 large plum tomatoes, diced
- 3 large garlic pickles, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 8 beef or pork hot dogs
Instructions
- Make the dressing for your salad by combining your mustard, vinegar, sugar and three tablespoons of your vegetable oil in the bottom of a large bowl and whisk together.
- Add your onions, cabbage, romaine, tomatoes and pickles to the bowl. You'll toss the salad until everything is well coated.
- Heat the remaining one tablespoon of vegetable in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your hot dogs, cook them in a single layer and sear them for a few minutes on each side, before removing them to paper towels to drain.
- Slice your hot dogs on an angle into one-inch thick slices. Mound your salad on a large serving plate and top with the seared hot dog slices. You can toss everything together and serve.
Notes
I use all beef hot dogs for my salad.
You can grab the bag of already shredded slaw mix from the produce department of your local market.
You can either cook your hot dogs in a skillet or grill them for this recipe.
