Red Cabbage Carrot Dogs

We understand that some might have doubts about this, but trust us — these carrot

dogs actually taste like the real thing. The flavor of the carrots has just the right mixture of sweet and tanginess to it. The added flavor bonus of shredded red cabbage and spicy arugula makes it even better and a little bit more special. Drizzle it with ketchup and mustard and dig in.
