Overindulgence in a salad of eastern fruits (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

surfeit

'overindulgence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'salad of eastern fruits' is the wordplay.
'salad of' indicates anagramming the letters (salad can mean a mixture).
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'e'+'fruits'='efruits'
'efruits' anagrammed gives 'SURFEIT'.

'in a' is the link.

(Other definitions for surfeit that I've seen before include "stuff, once" , "excessive amount" , "it's more than one needs" , "Excess, glut" , "Superabundance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
