- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

While the hot dogs are grilling, cut the red onion into thin slices.
Open the whole-wheat buns and place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast them.
Once the hot dogs and buns are done, place each hot dog into a bun.
Sprinkle a generous amount of low-fat shredded cheddar cheese onto each hot dog.
Add a few slices of red onion to each hot dog for added crunch and flavor.
Drizzle yellow mustard and ketchup over the cheesy hot dogs.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
