Somehow designs lard as sauce for green vegetables (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
salad dressing
'sauce for green vegetables' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'somehow designs lard as' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'designs'+'lard'+'as'='designslardas'
'designslardas' is an anagram of 'SALAD-DRESSING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salad dressing that I've seen before include "Vinaigrette or mayonnaise, for example" , "Mayonnaise, e.g." , "sauce" , "what goes on rocket?" , "leaves having taken this coat?" .)
