'leafy greens' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'second place on said buffet' is the wordplay.
'second place' becomes 'silver' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'buffet' becomes 'beat' (buffet can mean to beat or pound).
'beat' is a homophone of 'beet'.
'silver'+'beet'='SILVERBEET'

'take' is the link.
