Not mine, but my version of James Beard's:

Italian Sausage Salad from "Beard on Pasta" cookbook

6 Italian style link sausages, sweet or hot, poached, then
sliced and browned
1/2 lb. pasta twists, cooked
2 green, 2 red peppers, sliced into strips
2 red onions, thinkly slkiced
2 cups canned kidney or black beans, drained
3 hard boiled eggs, quartered
3 Tbsp, chopped Italian parsley
black or cured olives (optional)
dressing:
2/3 c. olive oil
3 Tbsp wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
freshly ground black pepper
pinch of oregano

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Combine dressing
ingredients, mix well
then add to salad, tossing gently. Let mature in the
refrigerator a few hours or overnight.
