Treat your ingredients with care...

Apple cider vinegar — Use high-quality apple cider vinegar for the best flavor.
Hot dog buns — Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from becoming soggy.

For a smokier flavor, grill the hot dogs over charcoal.
Experiment with different types of mustard to find your favorite flavor combination.
Add a sprinkle of hot sauce for an extra kick.
If you prefer a creamier slaw, increase the amount of mayonnaise.
Serve with a side of pickles for a tangy accompaniment.
