Coleslaw

Method

Hot Dogs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Dogs

    Grill or boil the beef hot dogs according to package instructions until heated through and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Toast the Buns

    While the hot dogs are cooking, lightly toast the classic hot dog buns on a grill or in an oven until golden.

Coleslaw

  1. 3

    Mix the Coleslaw Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage and grated carrots.

  2. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and celery seed until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Slaw and Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss until all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

  4. 6

    Chill the Coleslaw

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Coleslaw Dog

    Place a grilled beef hot dog inside each toasted bun. Top generously with the chilled coleslaw.

  2. 8

    Serve
