Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Mango — Choose a ripe mango for the salsa to ensure a sweet and juicy flavor.
  • Hot pepper sauce — Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce according to your spice preference. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder flavor.
  • Cucumber — Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber for the slaw.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you can't find Anguillan-style hot dog buns, you can use regular hot dog buns or soft rolls as a substitute.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the hot dogs with grilled plant-based sausages or tofu dogs.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the assembled Anguillan Island Dogs for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
  • Serve the Anguillan Island Dogs with a side of crispy plantain chips for a complete island-inspired meal.
  • Customize the toppings by adding sliced avocado or pickled onions for additional flavor and texture.

Serving advice

Presentation advice

Arrange the Anguillan Island Dogs neatly on a serving platter, ensuring that the toppings are visible. The vibrant colors of the mango salsa and cucumber slaw will make the dish visually appealing. Consider placing a small Anguillan flag or a tropical-themed toothpick on each hot dog for a festive touch.
