Ingredients
- 4 pieces all-beef hot dogs
- 4 large leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces dill pickle spear
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 0.25 cup, chopped onion
- 8 pieces pickled sport peppers
- 0.25 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the hot dogs according to the package directions. You can either grill them for about 5 minutes, boil for 7 minutes, or pan-fry until heated through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Step 2
While the hot dogs are cooking, wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will serve as the low-carb 'buns' for your hot dogs.
Step 3
Slice the tomato into thin wedges.
Step 4
Once the hot dogs are fully cooked, place each on top of a large romaine lettuce leaf.
Step 5
On each hot dog, add a dill pickle spear and two slices of tomato.
Step 6
Drizzle approximately 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard over each hot dog.
Step 7
Sprinkle chopped onions evenly over the hot dogs.
Step 8
Place two pickled sport peppers on each hot dog, alongside the dill pickle spear.
Step 9
Finish by sprinkling a pinch of celery salt and approximately 1/4 teaspoon of poppy seeds over the assembled hot dogs.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch of the lettuce and flavors of a traditional Chicago dog, all without the added carbs of a regular bun.
