Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and wash the head thoroughly.

Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and add it to the bowl.
Slice the black olives into halves and add them to the salad.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the cabbage mixture.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
