CHICAGO DOG SALAD



Chicago Dog Salad image

Eat well, eat more! I cut out the bun so I can have more dogs and veggies with less guilt. Chicago-style dogs are my favorites, with pickles, tomatoes, onions, mustard, and slaw on top; this salad reverses the order and piles the veggies up high underneath the dogs.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh tomatoes: The freshness of tomatoes greatly influences the taste of the salad. Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color.
  • Use a variety of greens: Don't limit yourself to just lettuce. Experiment with different types of greens like spinach, arugula, watercress, or kale to add texture and flavor to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Add some crunch: For an extra layer of texture, consider adding some crunchy elements like croutons, nuts, or seeds.
  • Make it a complete meal: If you're looking for a more substantial salad, feel free to add some protein like grilled chicken or tofu, or some grains like quinoa or rice.
