Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. Who does not love a hot dog once in a while? I was never a fan of hot dogs when I was younger. Probably because they were bland and over cooked. Ever since I started cooking, I have expanded my taste buds. This is a very simple and easy meal to make. This homemade relish is cool, refreshing and healthier than the brands you would find at the grocery store. I must say I really enjoyed this hot dogs with the  homemade relish and I would make this again. The homemade relish can be enjoyed on burgers and sanwiches as well. if you plan on toasting the buns, make sure to spray some olive oil on them and cook them for a very short time because they do burn easily. Tailgating season is here and this hot dog is perfect for your next tailgating party.
