Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.

Crumble the feta cheese and sprinkle it over the salad.

Finally, add the chopped herbs to the salad.

To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
