Steal a little salt? (5)

I believe the answer is:

pinch

I believe this is a double definition.

'steal' is the first definition.
(pinch can mean to steal)

'a little salt?' is the second definition.
(a pinch of salt)

(Other definitions for pinch that I've seen before include "Tweak" , "appropriate" , "Steal (colloq.); one felt by the poor" , "collar" , "Economise - steal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
