Picnics, and barbecues, and dinners al fresco… these are the outdoor dining experiences that summers are made of. Summer entertaining should be as simple and carefree as sunny summer days, and one of the dishes that We make over and over again, with some variation, is the super simple and yummy Summer Corn Relish.
The kids and We had a day trip planned out to Hood River, Oregon (about an hour away from Portland) with some friends to celebrate summer. What better way to dive into summer break than with a day trip and picnic?
To add to the festive picnic mood, We dressed up some water bottles with the free printable summer water bottle label that We shared earlier this week, and we packed a picnic lunch with Hebrew National All-Beef Franks.
The kids don't eat hot dogs often, and when they do, We like to make sure we go for the good stuff. Hebrew National All-Beef Franks are made with premium cuts of 100% kosher beef, they are gluten-free, and have no fillers, artificial flavors, colors, or by-products. The bonus is that they're mighty tasty to boot!
You can use a regular outdoor grill, but because we were up early to leave for our day trip, We cooked the hot dogs on an indoor grill pan the morning of our picnic, placed them in hot dog buns and wrapped with foil, then placed them in an insulated cooler bag. Prepping hot dogs this way keeps them warm for a few hours. Simply be sure not to add any toppings, or that will make the buns soggy during transport to your picnic. And nobody likes soggy buns!
Summer Corn Relish
This summer corn relish comes together in about 10-12 minutes, and is a fantastic special hot dog topping that goes beyond simply the basic mustard or ketchup. Plus, this relish adds an extra serving of veggies to your meal – always a plus in the book!
We made the relish while the hot dogs were grilling up. Then We removed from heat and allowed to cool in a separate plate or bowl. Once the relish had cooled, We placed it into an airtight container and added it to the insulated cooler bag by the hot dogs.
Our picnic was super fun, even though it was a truly windy day out at the Columbia Gorge. Hebrew National All-Beef Franks with Summer Corn Relish were a tasty way to help celebrate summer! *Please note some of these topping combinations may not be kosher

What makes a Hebrew National kosher hot dog premium? It's all about what makes the cut (And what doesn't). We're choosy about what goes into our franks – we use only premium cuts of 100% kosher beef from the front half of the cow and then choose the best from that. No artificial flavors, colors, fillers or by-products. When your hot dog is Kosher, that's a hot dog you can trust! For more summer fun with Hebrew National, visit facebook.com/hebrewnational.
