Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves and toss them into the salad for an herby aroma and flavor.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything to evenly coat the ingredients.
If desired, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and sprinkle them over the salad for added crunch.
