On the slices of bread spread with hummus, layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, sliced red bell pepper, red onion slices, mixed salad greens, and sliced Kalamata olives. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Optional Feta Cheese:
If using crumbled feta cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the vegetable layers for an extra burst of flavor.
