Serve salad, tossed: it contains capers and anchovies (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salsa verde

'it contains capers and anchovies' is the definition.

'serve salad tossed' is the wordplay.
'tossed' is an anagram indicator.
'serve'+'salad'='servesalad'
'servesalad' with letters rearranged gives 'SALSA VERDE'.

(Other definitions for salsa verde that I've seen before include "that's saucy" , "spicy foodstuff" , "Italian or Mexican sauce" , "Relish" , "sauce being required" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
