Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

Rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Add to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables in the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and whisk it together with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted bread croutons on top of the salad and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crunch and freshness of the salad.
