Grill up your favorite hot dog then give it a Chicago-style twist with this flavorful relish.

Ingredients

• 1/2 large onion, quartered
• 3 dill pickle spears, quartered
• 2 plum tomatoes quartered and seeded
• 8 sport peppers, stemmed (or 8 pepperoncinis, stemmed)
• 3/4 cup sweet pickle relish
• 3 Tbsp yellow mustard
• 1/2 tsp celery salt
• Hot dogs and hot dog buns, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Fit a food processor with a chopping blade and put the onion, pickles, tomatoes, and sport peppers in the bowl. Pulse the ingredients until they're finely chopped.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the pickle relish, mustard, and celery salt. Stir to combine and serve on your favorite prepared hot dog. Makes about a pint.
