came home to roost

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'had nasty consequences for one' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'chose more tomato salad' is the wordplay.
'salad' indicates anagramming the letters (salad can refer to a mixture).
'chose'+'more'+'tomato'='chosemoretomato'
'chosemoretomato' is an anagram of 'CAME HOME TO ROOST'.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for came home to roost that I've seen is " had adverse consequences".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
