Hot dogs are a summer barbecue staple, but are far from vegan-friendly. After you take the first bite, these carrot dogs with zesty avocado sauce will make you forget all about traditional dogs.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill, and wash the carrots.
2. Bring water on the stove to a boil, and add the carrots to the pot. Boil until soft, drain, and let cool.
3. Mix oil with salt, herbs, soy sauce, and water.
4. Peel the carrots, and place them into a zip-lock bag. Cover carrots with marinade, and let them marinate in the fridge for 3­–4 hours.
5. To make the zesty sauce, blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth, about 4­­–6 minutes.
6. Put the marinated carrots onto skewers, and grill until they start to become darker.
7. Place the carrot dogs into the buns, and top with the lettuce and the zesty sauce.
