The bruschetta ingredients bring freshness, acidity and complexity to the hot dog, while the crusty bun envelopes the dog with enough room to hold the flavorful topping in place.
Ingredients
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 clove garlic, crushed, grated, or very finely chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
dash of salt and pepper
4pcs hot dog
4pcs hot dog buns
Directions
Mix together the tomatoes, basil, garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and let marinate while you prepare the hot dogs.
Place hot dogs on a hot grill or skillet and cook until the outside is charred and the inside is heated through (about 5-6 minutes).
Toast buns if desired, then place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the tomato mixture and enjoy! Or simply place hot dog in lettuce leaf, top with tomato mixture and wrap the leaf around the hot dog.
