Prepare the spread

In a small bowl, mix the hummus with 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Dress the vegetables

In a separate bowl, toss the roasted red peppers, cucumber slices, and red onion with lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper.
Toast the bread

If desired, lightly toast the bread slices or warm the pita pockets to enhance flavor and add a bit of crunch to the sandwich.
Assemble the sandwich

Spread a generous layer of the seasoned hummus on each slice of bread. On one slice, layer the dressed roasted red peppers, cucumber, red onion, fresh spinach, and chopped olives if using.
Add the finishing touches

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables and add an extra crack of black pepper if desired. Top with the second slice of bread, hummus side down.
Serve and enjoy

Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately. If using pita pockets, simply stuff all ingredients inside and enjoy.
