Trader Joe’s Chicken Dogs with Arugula Salad

All-natural, uncured chicken “hotdogs” from Trader Joe’s. Perfect for a summer night, throw these healthier dogs on the grill and enjoy!

Chicken hotdog

Besides at a baseball game, I hardly eat hotdogs. They have who-knows-what in them and just aren’t healthy for you.  That’s why I love these Trader Joe’s chicken dogs; they are a great hotdog alternative. They have a meaty texture and emulate the taste of a real hotdog.

And of course, when dinner needs to be on the table ASAP, they get an A+. This whole meal was actually from Trader Joe’s. The frozen green beans and tater tots are two of my must buys from Trader Joe’s. To spice the dogs up a little for myself and the hubby, I added an arugula salad. You can double the salad recipe, skip the bun, and add a sliced chicken dog right to the salad if you so choose.
