Salad dish (8)
I believe the answer is:
coleslaw
'salad dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for coleslaw that I've seen before include "side dish" , "healthy food" , "plant-based food" , "We locals consume salad of shredded cabbage, carrot and dressing" , "Salad dish of shredded cabbage, etc" .)
