"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

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.

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.
