Grilled hot dogs are topped with a sweet-savory relish made with fresh pineapple, red bell pepper, sweet onion and cilantro.
When you want something beyond plain old mustard and pickle relish on your hot dog, try this sweet and savory combination of chopped pineapple, red pepper and onion. Flavored with fresh cilantro and cayenne, this homemade relish only takes a few minutes to prepare. To accent the flavors even more, try using potato rolls instead of regular hot dog buns. The slightly sweet flavor blends in perfectly.
