Italian Sausage Salad
["6 Italian-style like sausage (your choice of type, mild or hot)", "1/2 lb. macaroni, elbow, shell or twists (twists are prettier)", "4 green peppers, cut into pieces and strips (I use 2 peppers)", "2 red onions, sliced thin and separated, some into little pieces", "2 c. canned kidney beans, drained", "3 or 4 hard-cooked eggs, cut up, in slices or in wedges", "3 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley", "1/4 c. olive oil", "3 or 4 Tbsp. wine vinegar (I use 4 plus a bit)", "1 clove garlic, chopped (I use about a Tbsp. of garlic pieces)", "1/2 tsp. salt or to taste", "fresh ground black pepper", "large pinch of oregano", "pimento spread through and added to top for color"]
["Cook sausages, first prick skins with a fork, put them in a skillet with water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and poach for 1 minute.", "Drain off the water, slice sausage into bite-size pieces and fry over medium heat in a dry skillet until browned through.", "Cook and drain the macaroni."]
