Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 1 large (grated) Carrot
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Hot dogs
- 6 pieces Hot dog buns
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for toasting buns) Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to prepare the coleslaw base.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture and toss until well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
While the coleslaw is chilling, prepare the hot dogs. Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat and cook the hot dogs for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and slightly charred.
Optional: Butter the insides of the hot dog buns and lightly toast them on the grill or a skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Place each hot dog in a bun and top generously with the chilled coleslaw.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
