Firework found in salad (6)
I believe the answer is:
rocket
'firework' is the definition.
(rocket is a kind of firework)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rocket that I've seen before include "Firework - sharp lecture" , "High speed steam engine (1829)" , "Aerial projectile" , "Go up very quickly" , "Edible plant; weapon" .)
