Instructions
Slice the whole wheat hoagie rolls lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through, so they remain hinged like a pocket.
Spread 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly onto the inside of each roll.
Layer the cucumber slices, followed by the tomato slices, Kalamata olives, and fresh spinach leaves in the roll.
Add the red onion slices and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the fillings in the hoagie rolls to enhance the flavor.
Close the sandwich, pressing gently to secure the ingredients, and serve immediately. For convenience, you can wrap the sandwich in parchment paper before serving or enjoy as is.
