romaine lettuce
Elongated salad leaf
Romaine lettuce is a variety of lettuce with long, sturdy leaves and a crisp texture, darker green at the tips and paler toward the thick central rib.
It's the essential lettuce for Caesar salad and holds up better than softer varieties when dressed.
Also called cos lettuce, especially in British English.
