Sausage Dogs
with pineapple salsa / corn and green bean salad

Active: 40 min Total: 40 min
These are not your traditional hot dogs. We were in search of a bold twist on the classic grilled favorite so we swapped out ketchup for Sriracha mayonnaise and pickle relish for pineapple salsa.
Smarts: Use your favorite sausage for these "dogs." Pre-cooked or smoked sausage links will cook quickly since they just need to heat through, but raw sausage links are also great - just allow a bit more time to cook them all the way through.
