Time 20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups finely diced mango
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 hot dogs, butterflied
8 brioche hot dog buns
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for brushing the buns
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup crunchy fried onions

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Mix the mango, red onion, rice vinegar, scallions, cucumber and jalapeno in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the hot dogs, flipping them halfway through so both sides get grill-marked and a little charred, until heated through, about 8 minutes.
Brush the inside of the brioche buns with butter. Grill until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Spread both sides of the inside of the buns with mayonnaise to your liking. Place a hot dog on each bun and spoon a few tablespoons of the mango mixture on the dog. Sprinkle with fried onions.
