I know what you’re thinking: “Here’s another example of California crazy.” But remember, gold was found in them-thar hills too. This hot dog is just another example of that gold.
I’m pretty traditional when it comes to dogs—chili, onions, and slaw are my toppings of choice. But I have to admit, avocado and mango are hip, and their fresh flavors work well together to enhance the taste of the dog. Plus, all the toppings are super simple to make.
To assemble, first layer the avocado mash on the hot dog, then follow it with the herby mayonnaise and mango-jalapeño pico. For a cool side dish, try the watermelon salad. Like sorbet, it’s a refreshing palate cleanser.
