green leaves
Spring's fresh growth
Green leaves are the foliage of plants during their growing season, when chlorophyll makes them green.
The phrase often evokes vitality and renewal: The trees were full of green leaves by late spring.
In cooking, green leaves typically means leafy vegetables like spinach, lettuce, or kale: Add some green leaves to the salad.
