The Deconstructed Chicago Hotdog in Honor of the 2016 World Series Champs – The Chicago Cubs

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

The bunless dog can be just as tasty an experience. You get all the fixings without the weight gain. It took the Cubs 108 years to win the World Series. It only took our VP of Anger Management 7 years to “invent” this recipe.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 1 ZReduction approved hotdog (Hebrew National) or sausage (Aidell’s chicken sausages)
• From the grocery store salad bar: 1 cup of veggies.

The veggies in a Chicago-style hotdog include:

• cucumber or dill pickle
• onions
• chrry tomatoes or chopped regular tomato
• bell peppers (green, red, yellow and or orange)
• for your optional salad you can choose, lettuce, spinach, kale and/or cabbage. Remember, these are unlimited.

And from the aisles you’ll need:

• sport peppers
• celery salt
• mustard (no sugar) or a dressing that is approved. Mustard vinaigrette is easy to make. Just take regular vinaigrette and add a drizzle of mustard and stir.

Directions:

The first thing is to cook your hotdog. Hotdogs are already fully cooked, so all you really need to do is heat it. Choices are to boil it, grill it, pan fry it or even heat it in the oven or microwave. Then cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Chop the veggies and peppers into bits the size you’d like to eat.

Take out a bowl or plate. Spread your optional salad on the bottom. Put your veggies across the top, sprinkle on a dusting of celery salt and then put on your hotdog. Drizzle with mustard and chow down.

Enjoy!

Cheers, and Go Cubs!
