lettuce leaves

BLT sandwich layer

Lettuce leaves are the edible foliage of the lettuce plant, typically used in salads and sandwiches.

The phrase often appears in recipes or food contexts where whole or torn leaves are specified rather than chopped lettuce: Layer the lettuce leaves on the bottom of the plate.

In plural form, it emphasizes individual pieces rather than lettuce as a mass noun.
