I believe the answer is:

radish

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

'saucy if horsy some might call' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'her a dish' is the wordplay.
'RADISH' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for radish that I've seen before include "Pungent, red salad vegetable" , "Hottish salad plant" , "Edible small root" , "Bit of salad" , "Small red salad vegetable" .)
