Best Hot Dog Toppings
Here are some very unique (and delicious) hot dog toppings.
The Waldorf dog. In this twist on the classic Waldorf salad, use walnuts, raisins and diced apples to top a hot dog. Sweet and savory are a surprisingly good combination, and the texture and flavor of the walnuts round it all off nicely.
The Reuben dog. Instead of corned beef on rye, start with a hot dog on a bun. Add Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing.
The Salty dog. Admittedly not the healthiest choice, but it's fine for a treat once in a while. This is a hot dog topped with diced ham, green olives and just enough melted Cheez Whiz to hold it all together.
The Picnic dog. Top a hot dog with coleslaw and barbecue sauce for a true picnic flavor. (This one is especially good in the winter.)
The Mexican (or Chi-wow-wow) dog. Salsa, sour cream, jalapenos and Monterey Jack cheese give this hot dog a Mexican flavor that makes you say "Wow!"
The Hot -- and We do Mean Hot -- Dog. Put horseradish sauce, spicy mustard and banana peppers on a hot dog to get a truly hot dog.
The Greek dog. Top a hot dog with tzatziki, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, raw onion and feta cheese to give it a Greek flair.
The Deluxe dog. This hot dog features lettuce, mayo and tomato.
The Chili Cheese dog. Not too original, but worth a mention. It's a good way to use up leftover chili, or you can use a can of store-bought chili with American cheese.
The Buffalo dog. A Buffalo hot dog has Buffalo-style wing sauce and chunky blue cheese dressing.
The BLT dog. A hot dog topped with bacon, lettuce and tomato.
The Bacon Cheddar dog. If it's good enough for a hamburger, it's good enough for a hot dog.
Next time you think that hot dogs are getting ho-hum, spice them up with some of these toppings!
Note: If you're concerned about the fat and sodium, chicken or turkey dogs can be substituted.
