Ingredients

  • Hot dogs
  • Hot dog buns
  • 1/2 cup of mayo
  • 2 tbsp of red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup pepperoncinis peppers OR banana pepper rings drained
  • 1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/2 of a red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Start by cooking your hot dogs however you like. I prefer to grill mine.
  • In a large bowl, mix together mayo, red wine vinegar, salt, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
  • Add pepperoncinis peppers or banana pepper rings, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 a sliced red onion, and shredded lettuce.
  • Build hot dogs on buns with the grinder salad. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The grinder salad mixture makes enough to top at least 12 hot dogs depending on how much of the salad you use. 
  • I used an 8 oz bag of pre-shredded lettuce to save some time making this recipe, but you could shred your own ice berg lettuce if you prefer to.
  • Pepperoncinis peppers have a little bit of spice to them, if you don’t want spice you could use mild banana pepper rings instead.
  • I prefer to shred my own Parmesan cheese from a block for better texture and flavor than the pre-shredded cheese.
  • Be sure to top the hot dogs with the grinder salad right before serving, so the buns don’t get soggy.
  • You can use your favorite type/brand of hot dogs and hot dog buns for this recipe. I like grilling or smoking the hot dogs, but you can cook the hot dogs however you prefer.
  • This grinder salad mixture is also really good on grilled burgers!
