romaine hearts
Caesar salad base
Romaine hearts are the pale, tender inner leaves of romaine lettuce, sold with the tougher outer leaves removed.
They're crisp, slightly sweet, and the standard base for Caesar salads: I grabbed a bag of romaine hearts for tonight's salad.
The plural form dominates because they're typically packaged in groups of three.
