Suggestions:

If camping, can roast hot dogs on a stick over an open fire, until dogs are cooked through.

Ingredients:

1 cup finely chopped tart green apple

2 tsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup honey mustard

8 turkey franks

8 hot dog buns (whole wheat, if available)

Directions:

SALSA: Toss chopped apple with fresh lemon juice to prevent apple from turning brown. Add mustard and mix well. Cover and chill until meal time (or put in cooler).

HOT DOGS: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for the direct grilling method, using medium heat. Place hot dogs on grill rack, about 4 to 5 inches from the heat. Cook hot dogs over direct medium heat to an internal temperature of 165ºF for 10 to 12 minutes.

During the last 3 to 4 minutes, open hot dog buns and lightly toast them over indirect heat. Place hot dogs into heated buns.

Serve Apple Mustard Salsa atop hot dogs.

Variations:

Top with additional mustard, if desired (allow for extra sodium).
