Add some ✨ bling ✨ to your hot dog with my vibrant pickled yellow beans! They have the same tang as cucumber relish but with way more crunch and color.
🌭 or 🍔?
It’s one of life’s hardest decisions to make. My PopPop would always ask it at the annual family Summer picnic. I can still picture him walking around with a pen and note pad taking everyone’s orders. The tally score was always so close because everyone ordered both.
PopPop’s burgers were nice and flat, never too dry. And his hot dogs were served like “firecrackers” because he slit the ends like tentacles. When cooked on the grill, the ends would open up and mimic a bursting dynamite stick.
My point, this may be a hot dog recipe, but it would be great on a burger too. Why choose? As long as you use pickled yellow beans, you’re on your way to some seriously tasty stuff.
Yellow or green, the pickled long beans add a lovely tang and crunch. Along with the classic toppings of mustard and ketchup, I add herbs for that fresh-from-the-garden aroma and diced red onions for color. If you can handle the heat 🔥 some sliced jalapeno really gets the mouth party going.
