Grilled Italian Sausage with Warm Pepper and Onion Salad

Luganega, a coiled slender Italian pork sausage sold at Italian markets and some supermarkets, often comes with flavorings such as spices and cheese. If you can't find it, substitute any fresh Italian sausage.

Cooks' note:

If you aren't able to grill outdoors, vegetables and sausage can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
