Carrot Dog

Ingredients:
1 medium carrot
equal amounts water and apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp mustard seed powder
1 drop liquid smoke
salt
bun, bread, tortilla

Directions:
Early in the day or prior to the day of the meal, cut the two ends off the carrot and boil it until just tender.  Remove from the boiling water and run under cold water to stop it from cooking.  Mix enough water and apple cider vinegar together to cover the carrot in a closed container, add the spices, put the carrot in, cover, and marinate for 3-4 hours.   At meal prep time, remove the carrot from the marinade and put on the grill over medium heat, turning it for even grilling, for 3-5 minutes.  Serve on a bun, bread, or in a tortilla with desired condiments.

**For a complete meal, serve with 1 cup vegetable (corn on the cob, spinach salad) and 2 ounces of protein (baked beans, black beans).
