Ingredients

4 all-natural uncured franks

4 hot dog buns, preferably studded with poppy seeds

4 1/4-inch-thick cucumber rounds, halved

1 ripe tomato, cut into 8 wedges

Yellow mustard

4 dill pickle spears

8 hot "sport" peppers or sliced banana peppers

4 tablespoons finely chopped white or yellow onion

Sweet pickle relish

Celery salt

Method

Bring a small saucepan filled with water to a boil. Add hot dogs and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 170°F. If desired, warm buns in microwave for 10 seconds or toast in a pan. Nestle each hot dog into a bun.

Arrange cucumber slices along one side, tomato wedges on the other. Top with mustard, pickle spear, sport peppers, onions and relish. Add a fine sprinkle of celery salt and your dog is ready to enjoy.
