Greek Hot Dogs

Makes 4

Yes the tomato and cucumber are nice, refreshing & certainly delicious.  But what really makes this is the quick tzatziki. It adds a crazy amount of flavor that had us wanting a 2nd & 3rd.  

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 hot dogs
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 wedge lemon
  • Pinch of Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and diced small
  • Butter
  • 4 hot dog buns

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make small diagonal slits on all sides of the dogs and cook in a non-stick pan
  2. Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice & salt - mix well
  3. When dogs are almost cooked (and you'll know cuz the slits will open and it'll get gorgeous and slightly brown) butter buns and cook on a flat griddle until lightly brown
  4. Spread tzatziki sauce on a bun, then place a dog, then add tomato & olives
  5. Eat
