Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast the bread slices in the oven for 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. When done, remove from the oven and rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, and finely diced red onion.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl and sprinkle the salad with chopped fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Arrange the toasted bread slices on a serving platter and spoon the dressed salad mixture evenly over each slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Salad Bread!
