How to Make Chicago Dog Salad

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  2. Add the red onion, green cabbage, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and dill pickles to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  3. Season with celery salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  5. Arrange the sliced hot dogs in a single layer in the skillet.
  6. Sear the hot dogs for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  7. Remove the hot dogs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Mound the salad onto plates. Top with the seared Chicago-style hot dogs and serve immediately.
