Ultimate Loaded Veggie Dogs

Ingredients 
  • 3 Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Hot Dog Buns
  • 3 veggie dogs of choice (We love Updog brand veggie dogs!)
  • 2 tbs vegan butter
  • 2 cups onion, sliced
  • 3 pieces butter lettuce
  • 3 vegan cheddar cheese slices
  • Pickles of choice to serve
  • Sriracha or hot sauce of choice to serve

Vegan Thousand Island Dressing

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 tbs ketchup
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tbs white onion, minced
  • 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbs relish
Directions 

Start by prepping the toppings.

To make the caramelized onions, add 2 tbs vegan butter and 2 cups of sliced onions to a sauté pan, and cook on low for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are jammy and caramelized. Set aside until time for assembly.

To make the vegan thousand island-style dressing, blend all of the ingredients together, except the relish, until smooth. Stir in 2 tbs of relish, and pulse to combine. Transfer to a squeeze bottle and refrigerate until it is time to serve.

Grill the veggie dogs and then set them aside once cooked to your liking.

Toast the Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Hot Dog Buns in a toaster or in a pan.

To assemble, start with a piece of butter lettuce inside the bun. Add 1 slice of vegan cheddar cheese, then lay in the veggie dog. Add sliced pickles, top with caramelized onions, and drizzles of the vegan thousand island dressing and sriracha. Enjoy!
