Prep Time15 Minutes

Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
1 Pack Nathan's Skinless Beef Franks
Hot Dog Buns
Sliced Avocados
Diced Red Bell Peppers
Cilantro, stems removed
Lime Zest
Directions

1. Prep your veggies. Wash and dry all.

 

2. For the avocado, cut in half around the seed, then rotate and cut around again to create quarters. Separate the quarters and remove seed. Peel the skin away from each segment, then cut into thin slices.

 

3. Cucumbers can be sliced with the skin on or removed – your choice! Whichever you choose, slice the cucumber into rounds, then cut each round in half.

 

4. For the bell pepper, cut off the top and bottom, then halve. Cut away the membrane and seeds, then dice. Cilantro should be thoroughly dried (squeeze excess water out if needed), then finely chopped. Zest the lime.

 

5. Cook your hot dogs your favorite way. We suggest pan-fried with butter! See how to cook the perfect hot dog.

 

6. Assemble your dog! Nestle dog into the bun, then arrange avocado and cucumber slices alongside. Top with bell pepper and cilantro, then sprinkle lime zest over all.

 

7. Optional: Want to add even more West Coast freshness? Finish with a generous drizzle of green goddess to cover.
