Hot dogs with grilled coleslaw are staff favorite at Food & Wine magazine. With the first taste they became a favorite of ours also. They are perfect to serve after a morning of tennis or golf and are sure to please the men as well as the ladies.
The hot dogs and slaw can be grilled outside or prepared on a stove top grill pan. It takes only seconds to cut a head of green cabbage into eight wedges, brush with a little oil, and grill for about three minutes per side until slightly charred. Meanwhile mix equal parts good mayonnaise and cider vinegar in a large bowl, add a few chopped jarred jalapenos peppers with a bit of their juice, and stir to make a dressing. As soon as the grilled cabbage cools a bit, shred and toss with the dressing, season to taste with salt and pepper, and your slaw is ready.
Throw some hot dogs on the grill and cook until lightly charred. Toast the hot dog buns, top with hot dogs and slaw, open a beer, and lunch is ready in about twenty five minutes of minimal effort. It can’t get any easier than this. This easy recipe can be found on line at the Food & Wine site. Click here for the recipe.

I thought I'd had ever form of coleslaw known but this is new. It sounds delicious! I'd never had coleslaw on a hot dog until I discovered the famous "Chicago" dog. Hope it will soon be warm enough to uncover the grill. We are still thinking hot soup!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
Yummy hot dogs, they sound great with coleslaw!
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I have never liked coleslaw. However, them darn dogs look so good, I'd pop the jalapeños in there and wolf 'em down, coleslaw and all. They look amazing! Especially since it is about 11:52 Am in Miami and I really need some lunch. All of a sudden I'm thinking hot dogs...Although, they won't be as good as yours.
Thank you for your friendship, it has been my distinct pleasure getting to know you. Every award I get is coming your way! Cheers!
I will admit to loving a good hot dog during the summer - and only when grilled. The addition of the grilled cole slaw sounds perfect. Don't you love spring/summer cooking and the ease? Hugs through cyberspace coming your way.
ReplyDeleteI could just jump through the screen and kiss you, then eat one of the dogs! Jalapenos too, oh girl you know how to dress up a dish, and I see a lager, make room cause here I come!
ReplyDeleteBoy, do those hot dogs look good. We can post all the gourmet dishes in the world, but post a picture of a great hot dog with slaw and the world is your oyster (so to speak). Now I want one. Hot dog, not oyster.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I never thought of this combo, until you posted it. I love it, and so would my boys. I think I'll use polish dogs... super duper. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Sam,
ReplyDeleteOh this hot dag with slaw looks so delicious. I'm going to make this, France may be known for food but they don't have anything close to this!
Hope you're having a good week,
Mimi
I am a big big fan of coleslaw and I could see how wonderful the combo would be with the dog. Perfect for a summer day by the pool.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby would flip for these delicious looking hot dogs.
ReplyDeleteIf it's good enough for Food+Wine and My Carolina Kitchen, it's good enough for me! Seriously, looks really good and grilling the slaw is new to me.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good! I would have never thought to grill the cabbage for the slaw....
ReplyDeletePenny
I'm ready for a barbecue! Congratulations, Sam for your new awards!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I've had a Caesar salad with grilled romaine but this is a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteThose hotdogs do look great!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, sometimes simple is best and this is an American classic for sure... awesome combination just in time for summer... thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would drool at the sight of these grilled hot dogs. These are perfect for an afternoon lunch. I love hot dogs too.
ReplyDeleteYes. Chef E is coming my way next week. This will be the first fellow blogger I meet-what fun!
This sounds easy and delicious. It reminds me of the days when we used to go camping since I relate hotdogs to open fire pits and the great outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo of one of the great American foods! It's a food group all in itself!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my! That toasted bun, Sam. It is a necessity!
Hmmm....grilled colseslaw?? That sounds really interesting! We may have to try that!
ReplyDeleteSam, congratulations on your well deserved awards :-). You know, you've made me hungry for a grilled hot dog. That normally would be fine, but it's not yet eight in the morning here in Eugene. Ah, well! I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the greatest taste and texture combination! I just moved to CT and it seems to be the hot dog capitol of the US! Good thing I love them! I found you on Lazaro Cooks and I'm so glad I did. I'll be back soon and often!

excellent - this is kid bait but it works equally well on adults too I see..
ReplyDeleteLet's hear it for the hot dog! I have to watch myself around hot dogs with creative toppings ... I run the risk of eating myself into a coma!
ReplyDeleteI sure could go for one of those right about now...I'm starving! And the toasty bun.....YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteoh wow great hotdogs
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards!
ReplyDeleteI could definitely go for a great hot dog like this with that crunchy coleslaw topping. Sounds like the perfect lunch (or dinner)!
Hi. Thought I'd visit from Momgateway. What a great blog you have. Must run and check out all the articles but do come visit when you can...and, oh, you're welcome to stay, too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sam, so well deserved....Have a great weekend, xv.
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteThese hotdogs and coleslaw look so good. I could just eat them off the screen. I enjoy your blog very much. You always post recipes that make me want to try them now.
I love my hot dogs just this way! Yum!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards!
ReplyDeleteThese slaw dogs look amazing, but am I correct in recalling that coleslaw on hamburgers is a Carolina specialty? Oh, I'm having memory-induced cravings for these . . . 8-)
This is good grub and I love adding the coleslaw to cut through the saltiness and fat of the sausages....
ReplyDeleteI have been without internet for a while, sorry I missed so many posts....
My all time favorite burger is Carolina style (mustard, onions, chili, and slaw) and that combo works great for dogs too.
ReplyDeleteBut I do eat just dogs and slaw sometimes.
Hi Sam! This looks delicious! I enjoy your blog very much and have given you a Sunshine award. Please stop by my blog and pick it up....you deserve it! http://in-mimis-kitchen.blogspot.com
ReplyDelete** PERFECT BEACH FOOD !!!! I WILL BE MAKING THAT ALL SUMMER ON OUR BOAT OUTTINGS !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sam,
ReplyDeleteI could have used that Hot Dog Recipe when I had half the football team here last weekend. 'Though you can't imagine how many I need usually with four boys of my own!
Have a nice day, Therese
I have to say that I am not really a meat eater, but your combination of ingredients and mouth watering photo could convert me!
ReplyDeleteFood and "Wine" magazine may say so .. but you prefer Lager - and I would too!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sam, now I can't wait to get to Florida this summer for good old All-American hot dogs on the grill. Brilliant with slaw. And so much congrats on the awards!
ReplyDeleteHot dogs are perfect for this weekend, great with coleslaw..congrats on your awards..
ReplyDeletesweetlife

ReplyDeleteA good dog is a summer favorite around here, especially with a scoop of coleslaw.
Oh yay, this makes me excited for summer!!
