HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this hot dog is not necessarily healthy, the addition of tomatoes and roasted red peppers provides some nutritional value.
Tomatoes are high in vitamin C and lycopene, which have been linked to reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Roasted red peppers are also high in vitamin C and contain fiber and antioxidants.
However, the high sodium and fat content of the prosciutto and hot dog should be consumed in moderation.
