Sausage and beans salad

When you have leftover fried or grilled sausages you can make wonderful meals with them – salads, stews, pies, sausage rills and so on. This sausage and beans salad is ready in just 10 minutes! Ideal for lazy lunches and suppers, served with toast, mashed potatoes or pita. You can use any tinned beans, I made it with black eye beans. Try to use good quality sausages, i.e. with really high meat content and little or no additives/preservatives.
