Top Dogs For National Hot Dog Day
*Randy Jackson voice* What’s up, dog?
The hot dog days of summer are in, so get those buns out! In honor of National Hot Dog Day on July 18th, we’re giving you the inspiration you need for a fun barbecue or summer party. The best part about hot dogs is that they are completely customizable – no fuss over ingredients (or how many times you scoop toppings).
Pro tip: our plant-based dips can go from side dish to main ingredient with a drizzle (or two). Here are our choices for dips that make any wiener a top dog:
Chicago Style Avocado Dog
Our friends at The Chicago Tribune tell us the right way to make the perfect Chicago style hot dog includes tomatoes, onions, mustard and relish. But just because our headquarters is in the Chicago area, that doesn’t mean we can’t add one more ingredient to make it Good. Once you add those veggies, drizzle some of our Avocado Pesto Dip on top for bold flavor that’s half the calories of traditional guacamole!
Queso Mac & Cheese Hot Dog
Return of the mac! Our Queso Mac & Cheese recipe can be eaten outside of a bowl, try it as a hot dog topping. Trust us, ooey-gooey comfort food belongs on anything. Even a few scoops of our dairy-free Queso Style Dip add a flavor that blows regular ketchup and mustard out of the water.
Cilantro Corn-y Dog
Sometimes, it’s okay to be a(maize)ing at creating party dishes that every guest will love. Use our Cilantro Mexican Street Corn Salad recipe to add an extra crunch to your hot dog! A few spoonfuls of our Creamy Cilantro Dip also make a garlic and herb “sauce” that takes its flavor to a whole new level.
