Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Corn Salad
- If using fresh corn, grill or boil it, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain any excess water.
- In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 2: Grill the Hot Dogs
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
- Place the hot dogs directly on the grill and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally until evenly charred.
- Lightly brush the buns with olive oil or butter, then toast them on the grill for 1–2 minutes until golden.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
- Place the grilled hot dogs in the toasted buns.
- Serve with classic condiments or get creative with toppings.
- Pair with a generous scoop of creamy corn salad on the side (or even as a topping for the hot dog!).
- Enjoy with a refreshing drink like lemonade or iced tea!
