Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  2. 2 teaspoons sugar
  3. 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
  4. 1/4 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  5. 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  6. 1/4 cup finely chopped pickled yellow pepper rings
  7. 2 tablespoons finely chopped pimientos
  8. 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickled jalapeno peppers
  9. 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
  10. Kosher salt
  11. 4 hot dogs
  12. 4 top-split hot dog buns
  13. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  14. 4 slices American cheese, quartered
  15. Ketchup and mustard, for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the relish: Combine the vinegar, sugar, celery seeds and mustard seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until syrupy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool slightly. Stir in the dill pickles, yellow peppers, pimientos, pickled jalapenos and chives. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Season with salt.
  2. Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the hot dogs, turning, until well marked, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, open the buns and toast cut-side down on the grill. Brush the insides of the buns with the melted butter and arrange the cheese inside; cover to melt, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  3. Drain the relish. Serve the hot dogs on the cheesy buns; top with ketchup, mustard and the relish.

The relish is absolutely delicious! My daughter asked for these hot dogs for her birthday dinner. I thought I would make them and then toss the recipe. Well, I am now on the Food Network website looking for the recipe to pin! It’s definitely a keeper.
