Crispy Bacon With Wensleydale and Cranberry image

This is one of the nicest salads I've ever made. In fact my husband who is very adverse to green foods loves it. It's very, very tasty! Wensleydale is a pale, mild and crumbly soft cheese - the version made with cranberries is best for this recipe. I got this recipe from a sheet of recipes handed out at a cookery demonstration.
