You’re going to love this recipe for a simple and delicious Greek Salad Hummus Sandwich!

This might look like a plain old veggie sandwich, but it’s so much more! The Greek flavors are bright, briny, fresh and delicious and the sandwich is easy to put together. We’ve been enjoying this exceptional sandwich since 2013 when it was first published here on SRFD. I’ve made it using all kinds of bread, rolls and pitas too; it’s all good!
The bottom layer is a combination of crumbled feta, olive oil and chopped kalamata olives. Next, top the feta with sliced Pepperoncini, crisp cucumbers, ripe tomato and sliced red onion marinated in lemon juice and olive oil. The leftover onion marinade is sprinkled over the remaining bread slices then topped with a smear of hummus. Oh geez – it’s so good!!!

We recommend a good hearty, thick-sliced seedy loaf with plenty of flavor and texture for this hummus sandwich.

Bread is a special treat for me these days. We don’t eat bread regularly and only on days when I plan to get on the treadmill or go to the gym. When I get to splurge, I want something full of nutty goodness and plenty of seeds too! This store-bought Marathon Bread from Wegman’s Grocery Store is a favorite, especially as the base for this flavorful hummus sandwich. Use your own favorite store-bought bread or homemade. Don’t forget to think outside the lunchbox too. Stack these fresh ingredients on a naan style flatbread or pre-made pizza dough round. You won’t regret it!

This sandwich hits all the flavors of a great Greek Salad combined with the creamy goodness of flavorful hummus.

I used to make my own hummus frequently but for convenience I often pick up a container of my favorite Sabra Classic. It has the perfect consistency for spreading on a sandwich or cracker and helps hold all the extras together. You may be surprised to know that this sandwich can be made up to a day ahead. Wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated until needed, this hummus sandwich is great for picnics, lunchboxes, traveling and even a light dinner. No worries if you have extra, it keeps very well!

This recipe makes four regular sized sandwiches but is easily doubled if needed.

Having a Greek themed get together? Turn these ingredients into amazing sliders using whole wheat rolls for a delicious vegetarian option. Whatever you do, be sure to make this sandwich sometime. It rivals any of those fancy deli sandwiches and is so much cheaper to make at home.

Thanks for PINNING!

    This sounds absolutely amazing, I can’t wait to get to the grocery store! I’m currently on the fight of my life with Pancreatic cancer and my tastebuds don’t recognize flavors like they used to, so I “memory” eat. This stems from chemotherapy, common side effect, but unpleasant in so many ways. Everything about this sandwich will be a delicious meal to myself! Thank You!

      Hey Shauna! I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this battle and for the nasty side affects a treatment. I hope this sandwich brings the kind of flavor you’re looking for. We’ve loved it for years and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures. Hope you do too. I am truly praying for you and your family and hope the treatments bring you the cure soon! Take care and God bless.

    wow! This is so perfect in every way. The hummus, bread, veggies, feta…. When we went on road trips years ago I always made white bean dip sandwiches, and the girls always complained because the car smelled like garlic! But I never made them fancy like this, with all of the goodies. Brilliant.
