Ingredients
- Hot dogs
- 4
- Hot dog buns
- 4
- Romaine lettuce
- 4 cups, chopped
- Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup, grated
- Croutons
- 1 cup
- Lemon
- 1, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
- Cook the hot dogs according to the package instructions or grill them until they are heated through and have nice grill marks, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the hot dogs are cooking, prepare the Caesar salad. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan cheese, and croutons.

- Top each hot dog with a generous amount of the prepared Caesar salad.
- Serve the Caesar Salad Dogs with wedges of lemon on the side, encouraging guests to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips
- For a spicy twist, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the Caesar salad topping.
- Feel free to use turkey or plant-based hot dogs for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- You can make your own Caesar dressing by combining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and grated garlic.
