Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Low Sodium Beef Hot Dog
- 4 Whole Wheat Hot Dog Buns
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
- 4 tablespoons Low Sodium Sweet Pickle Relish
- 0.5 cup Chopped Onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 8 Sport Peppers
- 0.5 teaspoon Celery Salt Substitute (optional)
- 4 Dill Pickle Spears

Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-low heat.
Using a basting brush, lightly butter the inside of each hot dog bun with the unsalted butter.
Place the hot dogs on the grill, turning occasionally, until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
In the last 2 minutes of grilling, place the buttered buns, buttered side down, onto the grill to toast until golden brown.
While the hot dogs and buns are on the grill, slice the tomato into wedges, about 8 pieces.
Remove the buns and hot dogs from the grill. Place a hot dog into each toasted bun.
Spread 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard onto each hot dog.
Top each hot dog with 1 tablespoon of low sodium sweet pickle relish and a generous tablespoon of chopped onion.
Arrange two tomato slices and one dill pickle spear alongside each hot dog in the bun.
Place two sport peppers on top of each hot dog.
Sprinkle with poppy seeds and, if using, a small pinch of celery salt substitute.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Chicago Style Hot Dog!
