Grilled Hot Dogs get a grown up twist with this fresh and tasty California Avocado Relish Recipe.
Friends, it’s starting to get to that part of the summer where my anxiety about school starting begins to set in. I absolutely love summer. Love love love it. I love having my kids home with me, spending the days with them, slow, al fresco dinners and lazy, lounging mornings.
I have a really hard time transitioning back to a school schedule, where everything is practically as opposite of our low key summer as you can get. After school sports and activities, spelling tests, reading logs, early morning wake up calls, and dinners scheduled down to the minute so we can all be home at the same time to eat them. It all drives me a bit nuts.
So here’s what I’m going to do… I’m going to try my darndest to ignore the fact that school starts back up in just a couple of weeks. I’m going to keep enjoying simple times and simple dinners… like these grilled hot dogs with California Avocado relish. I mean, does it get any simpler in the summer than a couple of plump hot dogs sizzling on the grill? It really doesn’t.
This California Avocado Relish recipe gives hot dogs a bit of grown up sophistication. It’s everything a grilled hot dog needs to up the status quo. Give it a try… I really think you’ll love it!
In the meantime, enjoy soaking up the last of these summer days!

I can so relate Kristen. My oldest daughter started today and yesterday as we were running around squeezing all the last minute summer activities in I constantly had to fight back the tears. I love having all four of my kiddos home and the laid back schedule summer lends itself to.
Oh Jamie – you already started? That makes me sad! Summer goest by WAY too fast! I hope this school year goes ok for everyone!
Even though I like our homeschooling schedule, I am not ready for it yet. I want the long days of summer for a little bit longer! I love that you topped the dogs with avocado relish! I have a ton and they need to be used up!
When do you start back up, Anna?
In just a couple of weeks!
I can’t say I have the back to school worries, probablyyyyy because I have zero kids!
BUT I am ALLLL for some grilled hot dog goodness with my beloved California Avocados. That relish? Totally my jam! Love it. Pinned!
Thanks, friend! Everything tastes better with California Avocados on it 🙂
Well from the look of your SnapChat feed I would say you’re doing a GREAT job of ignoring the fact that school is around the corner!! Hope you’re having a FABULOUS vacation!! xo
I’m trying my absolute hardest…it’s going to be much harder to do when we get back home!
Yum! This looks amazing!!!
Since this delectable looking California Relish is 100% Whole 30 compliant, I am going to have mine bun-less over some Aidells sausage, and will send you happy thoughts while eating it! 🙂
Yay! I’m following in Kate’s foot steps since I’m still on Whole30. I don’t have kids but I work at a university and am having back to school blues too! I seriously couldn’t believe the date on the calendar today. What happened to 2015?!!
That relish looks fantastic!
Looks so refreshing and what a great flavor!
This dish is delicious. I will definitely do it when I have free time!
