Set your oven to broil
Slice the hot dog bun and place the hot dog in the center. add the onion/mushroom mix, then add the Gruyere on top. broil for 1-2 min until the cheese starts bubbling. Remove from the oven(you might get some char on the veggies).

In a bowl, mix the cabbage slaw with S&P.
When ready to serve, add the slaw to the top of the sausage and drizzle the sweet chili sauce on top.

Arugula Salad:
Toss the Arugula with Lemon, S&P and olive oil.
When ready to serve (make sure the hot dog is still warm), place the arugula mix first on the bun then the sausage and shred some Parmesan on top, drizzle some more olive oil, lemon juice and S&P.

Dice the peaches, red onion pepper and jalapeno.
