Morphology
Each constituent directly contributes to the meaning: 'green' (color/plant type), 'leafy' (having many leaves), and 'vegetable' (edible plant). The phrase is a straightforward compositional description (often collocated as 'leafy green') and is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows the parts can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Green leafy vegetable is a plain name that shows the picture of a plant food with bright green and soft leafy parts you can eat, like spinach or lettuce. That's why it means 'a vegetable with edible green leaves' and why people call these foods 'good for you'.
