Greek Salad Hot Dogs

Sharing is caring!

This glorious creation was inspired by my friend Jacqui, who saw my Caprese Hot Dogs and commented that a place near her makes a hot dog with a greek salad topping. I will now vow my undying love for Jacqui. Forever and ever. This was a surprisingly great combination of flavors. The simple dressing of red wine vinegar, olive oil and chopped kalamata olives brought a brightness to the veggies, and a sourness to the hot dog. It was like an upscale sauerkraut. Then, topping it with feta just made life so much better.  We had ours with a bun that was toasted with a bit of olive oil, but I think a pita would make this creation even better. I used The Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Greek salad, minus the lettuce, as the topping for this dog. If you are looking for a fun twist to serve when grilling this summer, this is it.
