Instructions

  • Make the campfire hot dogs: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine all sauce ingredients. Preheat the grill or grill pan on medium heat.
  • Build skewers by alternating hot dogs, pineapple, peppers, and red onion. Brush all over with sauce and place on a preheated grill.
  • Grill on medium heat, flipping every couple minutes and basting with remaining sauce, until skewers are charred, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse feta, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the feta is broken up into small crumbs, 10 to 15 seconds. Add ricotta and a pinch of kosher salt and pulse until combined, 10 to 15 seconds more. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula. With the motor running, drizzle in oil and process until mixture is smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in basil and mint. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Grill zucchini, undisturbed, until deep char marks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and continue to grill until marks form on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Arrange the zucchini and top with whipped ricotta, walnuts, and sea salt.
  • Enjoy the campfire hot dog, with grilled zucchini, and sweet ice tea!
