lechuga

Leafy salad base

Lechuga is the Spanish word for lettuce.

In English contexts, it appears on menus, in recipes, and in casual speech among bilingual speakers: I need lechuga for the tacos.

The word sometimes surfaces in American Southwest and border regions where Spanish-English mixing is common.
