Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.
Toast the sliced almonds by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic. Let them cool slightly, then add them to the salad.
Add the thinly sliced red onion to the salad for a touch of sharpness.
Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
