Nothing screams grill season like a hot dog. Take things up a notch with this island influenced pineapple salsa and guacamole char-grilled hot dog recipe!

Pineapple Salsa is just piled on these hot dogs! Grab one (or three)

Pineapple Salsa and guacamole? On a hot dog? Yep. That’s what this is all about.

There are those who enjoy hot dogs (those who secretly love them) and those who would never touch them.

If you are here, you probably fall in the first category and are looking for a few ideas on mixing up the menu.  Now, some believe a hot dog should only be steamed. Some say griddle is the only way. And then there are people like me, who every once in a while just want a char-grilled hot dog. A little burnt is just perfect. But, I am an equal opportunist eater and just tried my first New York System Weiner in Rhode Island. Whether you stuff them, top them with chilly, wrap them in pastrami, pile on a cheesy beer sauce, or just need motivation to create kick-butt dogs all summer long, there is no wrong way to eat a hot dog.

These hot dogs are loaded up and ready to go!

I was out at a taco shop chowing down on a killer house-made pineapple salsa and it struck me how killer it would be to kick it over to Hawaii for a little Pacific style. I traded spam for hot dogs and went wild with this grilled pineapple salsa and guacamole over char-grilled dogs! It was an easy pairing that works and is fun to create, and nibble on as you go.

The salsa and guac are perfect make-ahead sides and go with tacos and tortilla chips as well as they do for the base and topping on char-grilled dogs. Grill these up, nosh a bit and then when the gang is ready to eat, toss the hot dogs on the grill and show them how it’s done.

These hot dogs are lined up and loaded with pineapple salsa. Just spoon on some of that delicious guac, and we are ready to chow down!
