For a fun twist on a summertime favorite, top your dogs with a bold mixture of green tomatoes, avocados, shallots, cilantro, jalapenos, olive oil, and lime juice.

• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
• 2 medium Jalapeño chile peppers, stem removed and thinly sliced
• 2 small shallots, peeled and thinly sliced (or 4 green onions, white parts only, thinly sliced)
• 2 Tablespoons lime juice
• 1 cup diced green and/or red tomatoes
• 2 avocados, peel and seeded, coarsely chopped
• Sea salt, kosher salt, or salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 4 to 6 all-beef frankfurters or other bun-size sausages
• 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 4 to 6 sub or hoagie rolls, split

1. For Avocado-Chili Relish, in a bowl whisk together olive oil, cilantro, Jalapeños, shallots, and lime juice. Gently fold in tomatoes and avocados. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; set aside.
2. Prepare frankfurters as desired.
3. In a small bowl, mix the butter and garlic. Spread butter mixture on the sub rolls. In a large frying pan or on a grill rack over medium heat, place the rolls buttered side down and toast until light golden.
4. To serve, tuck frankfurters in toasted rolls and top with Avocado-Chili Relish. Serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

*When working with hot chile peppers, wear plastic gloves or wash hands well after cutting; the peppers contain oil that may burn skin and eyes.
