Summertime is a great time to “Go Hawaiian.” Even if you can’t jump on a plane and head to the islands, you can still have Hawaiian-style fun in your own backyard.

When you think of Hawaii, maybe hot dogs aren’t the first thing that come to mind. But I assure you, they are quite popular in the Land of Aloha. …With added Hawaiian flair.

You won’t see this Hawaiian Hot Dogs with Mango Salsa on any menu, but  it is inspired by the Hawaiian method of piling tropical flavors on the dog.

  6. This looks absolutely delicious, can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.

  7. You left out the honey in your directions. One whole tablespoon, correct? Must be a pretty sweet mustard. Whole thing sounds awesome! LOVE avocados on a hot dog. Summer in So Calif lasts until end of Oct, so I’ve got plenty more days to make this :). Thank you.

  21. Okay, I am skeptical of this – I love mustard and polish sausage and pineapple, but I don’t usually like sweet stuff with my savory stuff and I’ve never cared for mango. HOWEVER, I am going to challenge myself and make this…and when I do, I will come back and tell you what I thought. :) Looks like a great recipe whether it’s my taste or not, regardless. Nice blog.
