Ingredients

1/4 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar, eyeball it
1 rounded teaspoon sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 of a 16-ounce sack shredded cabbage blend for slaw salads
1 romaine heart, shredded
2 vine ripe tomatoes, diced
3 large half sour or garlic pickles, chopped
Salt and pepper
8 pork or beef hot dogs, cut into 1-inch-thick slices on an angle

Directions

In the bottom of a large bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, sugar, and about 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the onions, cabbage, romaine, tomatoes, and pickles and toss the salad. Season with salt and pepper, adjust seasonings, and reserve.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (1 turn of the pan) then arrange the sliced dogs in a single layer. Sear them a couple of minutes on each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.

Mound up the salad on plates, top with seared dogs, and serve.

Really Tastes Like A Hot Dog Without the Bun
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I live in Chicago, and we love this salad. However, to make it even more like a "Chicago dog", I add some... chopped sport peppers before tossing and celery salt after tossing. It is especially good in summer!Read more

filling and tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this twice now and have yet to be disappointed. This time I tried beer brats to see how that would taste, and... it's even better! The smokiness from the brats give the salad even more taste. My husband loved this. Super easy to make, and for those who thought it was greasy make sure you pat the dogs down well before putting on the salad. Read more

Quick and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband loved it and my kids wanted seconds. They focused on the hot dogs not realizing all the healthy veggies they were... ingesting. This is an easy recipe and I will make this again.Read more

Super easy and super flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for dinner last night using turkey dogs. What a great way to eat hot dogs - without the calories of the bun! If... you insist on having a "carb with it" I might try putting it into a low-carb wrap next time. It was awesome and I will definitely be making it again!Read more

Everyone was scared to try it...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

but everyone in my family fell in love with it. I did not use cabbage and I had the tomatoes chopped on the side for people... to add. It did not remind me much of a Chicago style hot dog...but it was yummy none the less. Read more
