1. Hot Dogs with Kale and Turnip Remoulade
Make this version by replacing the traditional coleslaw with a turnip remoulade. Grate the vegetable and let it drain for a few minutes before mixing it with vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard. Complete the dish with pan-wilted kale and green onions.
2. Hot Dogs with Braised Cabbage and Spicy Mayonnaise
And what if you replaced the coleslaw with a braised cabbage garnish, as we suggest in this recipe? Simply cook it with peppers on the barbecue in a little foil packet. Use this mixture to top the sausages (we suggest cutting them in half before grilling them, to get a crispier texture) or serve it as a salad.

4. Hot Dogs with Broccoli and Cheese
Make way for mild Italian sausages, broccoli and its companion, cheddar, in this revisited recipe. Blanch the broccoli florets, then mix them with canned creamed corn. Once the toppings are on the dogs, stick them under the broiler just long enough for the cheese to melt and you’re all done!

5. Hot Dogs with Pineapple and Red Pepper Salsa
The whole family is invited to take part in preparing these delicious hot dogs. A welcome change from coleslaw, the garnish is a salsa that combines red pepper and pineapple with celery, green onion and a few leaves of cilantro for an additional touch of freshness.

6. Merguez Hot Dogs
Instead of serving fries on the side, this all-in-one version puts them in the bread along with the sausage. Merguez is the sausage of choice for this hot dog for its lovely spiciness, and choose a baguette with a softer crust so your dog will be easier to eat. Lastly, give it a little zing with a spicy harissa mayo. A great and surprising combination with every bite!
