How to Make an Easy Hot Dog Board

Sharing is caring!

This hot dog board looks amazing, is so easy to put together, and is the perfect addition to backyard parties!

This dish is also perfect for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or summer get-togethers!

Ingredients

This is up to you! Here is what I used for mine:

• One dozen hot dogs with buns
• Pickles
• Cole Slaw (in middle dish)
• Ketchup, mustard, and relish
• Favorite chips

Directions

1. Place your middle dish in the center of the board.
2. Add the hot dogs around the outside perimeter of the board. I like to do two groups.
3. Add the pickles and small bowls of topping around the board.
4. Fill in any bare areas with chips.
5. Enjoy!

Perfect Presentation Platters

With the right staples, even hot dogs can look Pinterest-worthy and festive! Here are some of my favorite platters that I get so much use out of:

Round Trays: I used this round wooden Target tray, which I get so much use out of year-round! For a higher-end round tray, I love my MacKenzie-Childs checkered party tray. If you’d prefer some glitz, you could also go with this Gold Metal Party Tray from Walmart at a great price! This red and white star platter would also be so festive for Memorial Day or Fourth of July!

Rectangular Trays: If you’d like a rectangular wooden tray, this wooden version from Target is great, as well as this beautiful choice from Etsy. I also love this beautiful MacKenzie Childs baguette tray!

Star Dish: For a star dish similar to mine, I love this red star version from Michaels! (Just be sure to check the dimensions to ensure they don’t overpower your serving board.)

Small Bowls: To hold the ketchup, mustard, and relish toppings, you could use these adorable bowls from Target!

Serving Plates: Target has these adorable blue gingham plates, which also coordinate perfectly with these blue plaid plates. They would also look so cute with these woven chargers!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Tip: For an extra festive touch, surround your serving dish with star twinkle lights or American flag lights!

Can I Prep This Hot Dog Board Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can have the pickles, coleslaw, toppings, and chips plated on your hot dog board and stored in the refrigerator a few hours ahead of time. Just add the hot dogs close to serving time so they are nice and warm!

Storing Leftovers

For the chips, I like to hold onto the chip bag so I can just put any extras there. I also store the hot dogs in either a large Ziploc bag or Tupperware container. I’d also recommend keeping the pickle jar for leftover pickles!

Enjoy!

I always enjoy sharing ideas that don’t take much time but still look fantastic. I hope this easy hot dog board was a festive element to your outdoor gatherings! Cheers!
