Trim roots and green leaves from leeks. In a small saucepan cook leeks in boiling water about 8 minutes or just until tender; drain and halve lengthwise. Insert a wooden pick through one end of each leek half to hold it together while grilling. Remove and discard stems from mushrooms. Rinse mushroom caps; pat dry with paper towels. Place in a grill basket.

Preheat gas grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place leeks and mushrooms on the grill rack directly over heat. Cover and grill for 5 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, turning once halfway through grilling. Remove from grill; cool slightly.

Coarsely slice the vegetables. Toss the vegetables with dressing. If desired, serve the vegetable mixture on lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Makes 6 side-dish servings.

prepare vegetables as above; grill over medium coals for 5 to 8 minutes.
