To celebrate this delicious day, I made my 3 favourite hot dogs with an array of different condiments and toppings. Each one of them is delicious in their own right but I have to be honest, my ultimate hot dog involves a bit of everything. Good mayo, mustard, corn salsa and pickled jalapeños. Grief, I’m drooling already. This is my take on a classic dog. Mustard-mayo made from my favourite mayonnaise, Hellman’s, and a good wholegrain mustard. Along with that I added sweet, fried onions and a squeeze of tomato sauce (ketchup). This corn salsa. You guys, I would walk barefoot for miles to get to this salsa. I wrote all about my love of roasted corn in my Roasted sweet corn & feta quiche post so I won’t ramble on about it here again but seriously, a hot dog with some of this salsa and a drizzle of smoky sour cream drizzle? Yes please! And finally, we have a hot dog made from a whole lot of goodies you can find at any good supermarket. Of course you can make your own salsa but I have found that there are excellent salsas available at most supermarkets so why bother? Add a few pickled jalapeños and some micro herbs and you have a fantastic hot dog! This is a really great way of entertaining as well. I often do “DIY-stations” with loads of condiments/toppings which results in a really laid-back, casual gathering which is all I want my parties to be. Are there any toppings you absolutely have to have on your hot dogs? Which ones do you think I should be trying on my next one?
