- 1 all-beef hot dog (preferably Vienna Beef)
- 1 poppy seed bun
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon bright green sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon chopped white onion
- 1 tomato slice
- 1 sport pepper (optional, but classic)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Celery salt (optional, for authenticity)
Assembly:
1. Grill or cook the hot dog according to your preference.
2. Place the hot dog in the poppy seed bun.
3. Add a dollop of yellow mustard.
4. Add a spoonful of bright green sweet pickle relish.
5. Sprinkle chopped white onion on top.
6. Add a slice of tomato.

Authenticity Notes:
- Use Vienna Beef hot dogs for the authentic Chicago taste.
- Never put ketchup on a Chicago-style hot dog!

- Celery salt adds depth, but feel free to skip if you don't have it.
Enjoy your delicious Chicago-style hot dog!
