Helpful Hints
- 'Salad of' is an anagram indicator - I can hear the outrage from here! The word 'salad' can mean an incongruous mixture - perfect for an anagram indicator - and we'll need to rearrange a neighbouring set of letters.
- Our fodder is 'Small' and 'lime'. We'll need to find a substitute for one, and use the letters of the other as directed by the indicator(s).
- The definition is 'say, cheese', and our answer will be another way of conveying that.
