We’re coming up on Memorial Day Weekend! And we all know what that means— summer can officially begin.

Woohoo!

Afternoons at the pool. Campouts. Tank tops and flip flops. Farmers markets. S’mores. Drinks out on the patio. Road trips. Sunscreen. And of course, lots and lots grilling. I’m looking forward to it all!

We’re already having hot dogs on a regular basis, but Hot Dog Night just got a whole lot more fun thanks to this pineapple and avocado salsa.

This salsa, you guys, is EVERYTHING. I really think I could eat it with everything too. And on hot dogs with a little cotija cheese? Incredible. You won’t even miss the ketchup and mustard.

The salsa’s got a great combination of sweet, salty and mild heat. Grilling the pineapple beforehand really brings out the sweetness and juices, so don’t skip this step!

These dogs belong at your next BBQ or cookout. Your summer needs it, trust me.
