1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Thirty-two 1/4-inch-thick slices French or Italian baguette

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato, minced garlic, basil,

parsley, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to
