Vegetable dressing, close to puree, breaks up fat (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
sugar beet
'vegetable' is the definition.
(sugar beet is a kind of vegetable)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sugar beet that I've seen before include "foodstuff" , "It produces sweetener" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
