Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic favorite with these Low Sodium Hot Dogs. Perfect for backyard barbecues or a quick dinner, these guilt-free treats balance flavor and dietary needs.

  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 low sodium hot dogs
  • 4 whole wheat hot dog buns
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • Low sodium mustard, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), optional

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling a pot of water. Once it’s boiling, gently add the low sodium hot dogs. For added flavor, consider adding garlic or your favorite herbs to the water. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
  2. While the hot dogs are cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Chop tomatoes and shred lettuce while the onions cook. Drizzle low sodium mustard on top for added flavor.
  4. Once the hot dogs are fully cooked, place them in whole wheat buns. Top with sautéed onions, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of mustard. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in the microwave or stovetop until heated through.
  • For a gluten-free option, use lettuce wraps or corn tortillas instead of traditional buns.
