Ingredients:
- 1 beef hot dog
- 1 hot dog bun
- 1 mustard packet
- 1 relish packet
- 1/2 cup cooked yellow rice
- 1/4 cup chopped cucumber and tomato
Instructions:
- Cook the hot dog until hot all the way through, then toast the bun lightly so it feels warm and fresh.
- Place the hot dog in the bun and top with mustard and relish.
- Cook the yellow rice according to package instructions, then let it cool slightly.
- Mix the yellow rice with chopped cucumber and tomato. Add a tiny splash of vinegar, oil, or citrus juice if available to make it brighter.
- Serve the hot dog with the cool fiesta rice salad on the side for a simple summer plate that feels a little like a backyard cookout.
Chef’s note: The rice salad adds color, freshness, and a little crunch, making the plate feel more complete.
