Preheat a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the pecans to the skillet and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the baby spinach, then place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges and add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl along with the crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the toasted pecans before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
