OK, so tonight I was lucky and got to fire up the grill. Mine's kinds of fancy -- I can see the temperature on the hood, and stuff like that. So I tossed on 3 Cowboy Sauasage Italian sausages. They needed between 3-4 minutes a side once the grill was at 300 degrees. I put them on the warming rack, and put on two quarters of a head of radicchio (looks like red lettuce, kinda bitter), tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper, for about 2 minutes a side or until they had nice grill marks. My radicchio were pretty small, so I didin't have to go to a second side. I tossed some scallions with them in the olive oil and put them on the grill, too, for the same period.
For dressing for the veg, I mixed one and one-half teaspoons honey plus one and one-half teaspoons fancy mustard (think Grey Poupon) and the juice of one Meyer lemon. As soon as the radicchio and scallions came off the grill, I dressed them with this. The dressing also tastes good with the sausage. That means for Easter, you can place the whole lot on a piece of sourdough toast and call it "bruschetta!"
I also made a side of chili beans. I'll discuss them another time. Til then, see you at the market!!!
Can't wait to try this! Your details for how to make the dressing would have been worth a solo post. But following your steps for radicchio on the grill will be amazing. It's exactly what's waiting for me in my fridge!
