Gather and prepare all ingredients. Slice the avocado thinly, cut the cucumber into rounds, and slice the tomato into thin slices.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly on each slice of bread.
On one slice of bread, layer the avocado slices, cucumber rounds, and tomato slices.
Add the grated carrot evenly over the veggies, followed by the lettuce leaves.
Optionally sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes over the layered vegetables for added texture and flavor.
Top with the second slice of bread (hummus side facing down). Press gently to hold the sandwich together.
Cut the sandwich diagonally or into halves for easier handling, if desired. Serve immediately, or wrap it in parchment paper to enjoy later.
