With summer right around the corner, many are making a last-ditch effort to get in shape and have their beach-bod ready to go. And if you're someone working toward a washboard stomach, you know full well that carbs are the enemy.
This means that in order to properly enjoy our favorite BBQ treats, you have to get creative. It's what drove Instagram user @heathercoxzzz to swipe out her hot dog bun for a pickle!
Whether you're at a baseball game or in the backyard at home with friends, hardly anything in the world beats a well-cooked hot dog.
But for those who are more health-conscious than others, bread can be a serious concern.
Heather took a large pickle from her fridge, sliced it down the middle, and nestled her hotdog in the center.
"I know this one is gonna make some people mad," Heather captioned the post. "But hear me out. It was good 😂[sic]." .
Heather was scrolling through her feed when she happened to notice several people using slices of tomato in place of a hamburger bun.
She figured that if tomatoes worked for burgers, that pickles could be a tasty alternative for footlongs.
A pickle bun provides a delightful crunch that you just don't get with bread. It also tastes incredible if you leave it face down on the grill for a couple of minutes.
