Today is all about the dogs. Hawaiian Hot Dogs with Mango Salsa, that is, with zippy Pineapple Mustard. It’s fun on a bun!
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.
Every time we’ve made the long haul to paradise, we hop off the plane and head straight to Puka Dog. Loaded with spicy condiments and fruity concoctions, Puka Dog’s hot dog recipes are a stroke of genius.
It’s been months since our last trip to Kauai, and I’ve been hurtin‘ for a Puka Dog, so today I decided to make my own.
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.
I grilled my buns and polish sausage links, then made a fresh spicy mango salsa and Hawaiian-style sweet pineapple mustard for the top.
Layer fresh sliced avocado over these puppies and you have a meal fit for King Kamehameha!
This Hawaiian Hot Dogs with Mango Salsa would make a great addition to your 4th of July table, along with:
Pina Colada Cupcakes with Fresh Kiwi Frosting
and…
Pasta with Peas, Smoked Almonds and Dill
Summer Squash and Blistered Tomatoes
White Bean and Edamame Salad with Smoky Vinaigrette
Homemade Chocolate Dipped Cones
Have a happy and SAFE Independence Day!

This looks absolutely delicious, can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Thank you, fixed! Yes it is a sweet mustard, but really good!

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.

I am really wanting a hot dog right now. That looks so good!
And suddenly I’m craving a hot dog. And by hot dog I mean this delicious monster!
oh.my.goodness.
this is one of the most amazing things i’ve seen. i want it.
I love all styles of dressed-up dogs…and this one doesn’t look like it would disappoint. So vibrant!
Ok seriously out of this world!!!!! I want this for breakfast.
Ohhh I never would think of topping it with the mango salsa.
Love this! Almost don’t need the actual hot dog, the rest is so good.
I never in a million years would have thought to put Hawaiian flavors on a bun, but it sounds unbelievably good! SO clever!
Yummy! Love your Fresh Mango Salsa and Pineapple Mustard.
Beautiful and delicious as always! Gorgeous combination :)
Hugs <3
I love the idea of pineapple mustard!
This really is fun on a bun! I LOVE hot dogs and sausages (even if I wish I didn’t sometimes) and never thought to put salsa on my dog – this is brilliant! Mango salsa is definitely my go-to for homemade salsas, so this is just perfect. And the avocado..mmmm…dreamy! I also love that you present this yummy dog with a newspaper, that way I can catch up on news while I’m cramming the delicious dog in my mouth ;)
How creative! I love the Hawaiian Hot Dog! Beats traditional ketchup and mustard. I have to try your recipe this coming weekend.
Okay, now that’s how I want to eat hot dogs. Love your styling in these photos, Sommer!
puka dog is like the one place we didn’t go to when we were in kauai and now i’m totally kicking myself! i looooooooove hot dogs, especially the fancy ones :)
I could eat that salsa all by itself… but this hot dog looks pretty amazing.
Must make that salsa, stat!
What a fun twist on the old hot dog!
Gorgeous photos, Sommer!
I’m completely jealous of your Hawaiian vacations. I dream of going there someday, it’s just SO far away for us being on the east coast. These hot dogs are something else! Really fun. I bet my husband would love this.
