Yowsa! Talk about a great bite! These Greek hot dogs definitely have it going on. Great beef flavor (don’t use a cheap dog. Ever.). Crunchy red onion, tamed down with some Feta and black olives. All backed up with a great Greek vinaigrette that ties it all together. It’s almost like a Greek salad on a dog.

Not A Fan Of Onion? It’s Ok

If you think red onion in these Greek Hot Dogs is too strong, soak a few slices in cold water for 5-10 minutes before chopping them for these dogs. They’ll be a little more mellow but still have great flavor and crunch. I wouldn’t leave them off. These hot dogs really are better with them.

Try substituting other types of dogs or sausages, such as kielbasa or polish sausage.

If you prefer a little less olive-forward hot dog, chopped them first and of course, use a little less. I think they are a big reason these hot dogs are different than most. How often do you see black olives on a hot dog? Well, not often enough is what I’ve found out!

Cookin’ Dogs

Hey, cook the dogs however you want, on whatever you want. Griddle. Grill. Stovetop. Boiled. Broiled. Steamed. Baked. I don’t care. I don’t mean that in a snobby way. I’m just saying you do you. I happen to like mine cooked up on a charcoal grill or in an air fryer. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns on the grill or into the air fryer if I want them toasted (and I do). I often like to cut a thin slit lengthwise down my hot dog before cooking it. That slit will open up a bit as the dog heats. When I put it on the bun, I put the hot dog slit face-up. It gives the toppings a wonderful place to go. And stay. They don’t pop out with each and every bite!
