Chop the parsley and mint and add to the bowl. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
