Begin by preparing the avocado topping. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth.
Dice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and chiffonade the cilantro leaves. Add them into the bowl with the mashed avocado.
Add the lime juice and ground black pepper to the avocado mixture and mix until well combined. Set aside.
Thinly slice the radishes and set them aside for garnish.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. While the grill heats, lightly butter the inside of the whole wheat buns with the unsalted butter.
Grill the low sodium hot dogs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until heated and slightly charred.
While the hot dogs are grilling, place the buttered hot dog buns cut side down on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until toasted and golden brown.
Remove the hot dogs and buns from the grill. Place each hot dog inside a toasted bun.
Top each hot dog with a generous spoonful of the avocado mixture, spreading it evenly over the top.
Garnish with sliced radishes and fresh cilantro leaves. Drizzle lightly with olive oil for added richness.
Serve immediately with your choice of low sodium side dishes, such as fresh vegetable sticks or a green salad.
