Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces grass-fed beef hot dogs
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 4 spears dill pickle spear
- 1 small onion
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 4 teaspoons paleo mayonnaise
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
Thinly slice the onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Grill the grass-fed beef hot dogs for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and heated through.
While the hot dogs are grilling, in a small pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the bell pepper strips. Sauté until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
To assemble the hot dogs, take two large lettuce leaves and use them as a bun to place each hot dog inside.
Add a pickle spear next to the hot dog.
Layer on the sautéed bell peppers, sliced onions, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard and 1 teaspoon of paleo mayonnaise over each hot dog.
Sprinkle a pinch of celery salt on top for that authentic Chicago taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly Chicago-style hot dogs!
