Slice the pretzel rolls in half horizontally without fully separating the two halves.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly onto each bottom half of the pretzel rolls.
Thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and kalamata olives. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat evenly.
Layer a generous portion of fresh spinach leaves on each hummus-covered pretzel roll, followed by the dressed vegetable mixture.
Crumble feta cheese over the vegetables on each sandwich.
Close the pretzel rolls and gently press them down to secure the filling.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for a packed lunch option.
