Mix the mashed avocado with lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper, and olive oil. Set aside.
Thinly slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion into rounds or half-moons.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the baby spinach leaves on one slice of bread, followed by the sliced tomato, cucumber, and onion. Add the optional crumbled feta cheese or vegan cheese, if using.
Place the second slice of bread on top with the avocado side facing the fillings.
Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
