Fruit Salsa Hot Dogs & Applegate Hot Dogs Giveaway

Have you ever truly looked at the ingredients in a Hot Dog?  I mean…really looked?  What’s in those things?  Seriously!  I won’t lie, I love hot dogs.  They are also one of the few items my son will actually eat so I buy them every week.  Granted, I hate that my son only eats a couple types of meat because he’s so picky but hot dogs are on his list.  Lately, I’ve been getting more interested in truly looking at what is in the food I buy including hot dogs!

I was very happy to find out that Applegate offers organic and natural hot dogs without that mysterious meat.  Yep…no mystery meat!  At first they were a little different to get used to the texture mostly, but the quality you could immediately tell was 100x better than the mystery meat dogs!  My son could not tell the difference and gobbled his up!

We tried one of each of their hot dogs and the one we liked the best was the Big Apple Hot Dog!  Of course, we loved them all but this one truly makes you feel like you are in the big city!

The Big Apple Hot Dog is made with pork shoulder and beef chuck, plus you will actually know and be able to pronounce the ingredients on the label.  That right there is a plus!

I decided to take this Big Apple Hot Dog and bring it a little closer to home by adding a summer sweet twist to an every day dog!

How did I do this?  By making a simple fruit salad that consisted of peaches, watermelon, pineapple, lime juice, and a bunch of fresh cilantro.

All you do is mix it up and you are all set for the perfect hot dog topping.  Plus, you’ll probably have leftovers to use later in the week.  Try this mixed in with some yogurt and granola…yum!

We cooked up our hot dogs which now is the perfect time to grill them!

Then, it was all about enjoying them!
