Directions:
Bring 4 c water to boil. Add salt pork and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove pork and add beans - simmer 10 minutes. Add okra to beans and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well.

Combine beans, okra, tomatoes and onion. Toss with dressing just before serving. Sprinkle crumbled cheese and bacon over top.
Serve cold or room temp.

Alterations:
I do not use salt pork. I cook an entire package of thick sliced bacon cut into thin strips instead.
I sliced the okra into approximately 1/2 to 1 inch pieces before cooking.
I used feta cheese instead of saga cheese.
I also added some fresh corn to the salad.
