Divide salad leaves between 2 serving plates. Spoon vegetables on top; drizzle over any juices. Sprinkle with chopped parsley; serve immediately.

Variations

Drizzle a little fat-free or low-fat French dressing over vegetables and salad just before serving, if desired. Use 2 vine-ripened tomatoes or 4-6 baby plum tomatoes (halved) in place of standard plum tomatoes. Use snipped fresh chives in place of parsley.
