Drain the canned tuna, reserving a little of the olive oil for extra flavor, and transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the Kalamata olives and cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Thinly slice the red onion and mince the garlic clove. Add both to the bowl.
Add 1 cup of baby spinach to the mixture, followed by 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a light dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Slice the whole-grain hoagie rolls in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
Evenly divide and spoon the tuna mixture into the two hoagie rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Tuna Hoagie!
