- 砂糖[入り]{いり}のお茶 = 砂糖が入っているお茶
- 胡椒付きのサラダ = 胡椒が付いているサラダ
入り and 付き are suffixes derived from the verbs 入る and 付く. The forms 入り and 付き are the 連用形 renyōkei (masu-stem) of the verbs and behave much like nouns. This is why you see that 砂糖入り modifies お茶, a noun, with の.
For translation you could go for
- tea containing sugar
- salad with pepper
Many verbs do this, by the way. For example the suffix ～生まれ attaches to places and means "born in", e.g.
東京生まれの人
a person born in Tokyoアメリカ生まれの日本人
a Japanese born in America

2～付き means "[comes] with", so reading 砂糖付きのお茶 I'd say that it's "tea that comes with a packet/cube/... of sugar". Having it dissolved in the tea, you can't really use ～付き any more. But 胡椒入りのサラダ seems perfectly possible, although ～入り suggests the pepper is really in the salad (presumably in the dressing), even though you might not be able to see it.– Earthliŋ ♦Commented Nov 11, 2016 at 20:51

2@Dav7n Technically, you could, but notice the difference in nuances. ～入り infers something has already been added/mixed in, was ～付き is more like "comes with on the side". So 砂糖付きのお茶 would sound more like "tea with a side of sugar" as opposed to "sweetened tea".– JimmyCommented Nov 11, 2016 at 20:53

@Dav7n I don't think I'd expect to hear much 胡椒入りのサラダ unless we're talking about allergy (, or, you really use pepper as a material, not seasoning). Commented Nov 12, 2016 at 15:42
