Lift cover; carefully add beans to carrots; steam carrots and beans, covered, 2 minutes. Lift cover; carefully add zucchini to other vegetables. Steam vegetables, covered, until just slightly firm when pierced with fork, about 2 minutes. Remove immediately to large bowl.

Combine olive and vegetable oils, malt and white wine vinegars, herbs, salt, and pepper in small bowl; whisk until blended. Pour over vegetables in large bowl; toss to coat evenly with dressing. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until serving time, tossing occasionally.

At serving time, arrange lettuce leaves on individual salad plates. With slotted spoon, lift marinated vegetables from bowl; arrange over lettuce, dividing evenly. Spoon some of dressing left in bowl over lettuce. Garnish vegetables with small amount of chopped red onion, if desired.
