Ingredients:
2 pieces Jumbo Purefoods Tender Juicy hotdogs (sliced 1/2")
2 cups Green Leafy Lettuce
1/4 cup Cucumber (sliced)
1/4 cup Tomatoes (sliced)
1/4 cup Croutons
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese (grated)
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing

Directions:
Heat the two pieces Jumbo Purefoods Tender Juicy hotdogs for 3-5 minutes in an oven toaster (five minutes will do especially when the hotdogs came directly from the freezer). You could also fry them but then you'd have to use cooking oil or some similar oil to heat them in but if you're okay with that, go ahead. (You could also use other sausages in place of the hotdogs, just replace the name of whatever sausage you used instead of 'Tender Juicy').

While heating the hotdogs, you could prepare the other ingredients in a large bowl. You could do this which ever way you like since you'll toss it up anyway before eating it but this is the way I do it. I layer the bowl with the green leafies first and then top it off with the cucumber and tomato slices and then the croutons. (You may also add black olives and sliced green and red bell peppers but since I dont have that at the moment, these would do). Top it all off with the grated cheddar cheese (mozzarella would be better or cottage cheese even if you're not on a budget).

By this time we're done heating the hotdogs. Slice them in half-inch thick discs and put all those on top of the bowl. Just toss them all up and voila! Lunch is served. Enjoy it with your favorite drink and mine at the moment is C2 (Cool & Clean) Green Tea variant. (I apologize for that slight product placement :-D) Yummy! Now, I'm off to the mall...
