Peel and segment the oranges by cutting away the peel and the white pith. Slice each segment away from the membrane and set the segments aside.
Rinse and dry the baby spinach leaves thoroughly, then place them into a large salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the spinach leaves.
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese evenly over the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, adding just enough to coat the ingredients lightly. Gently toss the salad to combine.
Add the orange segments to the salad as the final touch. Serve immediately and enjoy this bright, citrusy dish!
