1 ripe avocado
3/4 cup chopped sweet red bell pepper

In a small bowl, combine bell pepper, onion, vinegar, sugar, salt, and ground red pepper; gently stir in avocado. Let stand one hour before serving.

TO PREPARE THE HOT DOGS:
Meanwhile, preheat a countertop or charcoal grill; cook hot dogs until hot and browned, about 5 minutes.
