Make the olive tapenade: Pulse garlic in the food processor until minced. Add olives, roasted red pepper, parsley, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Pulse until olives are in small pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. Alternatively, chop all the ingredients well and stir to combine.

Toast the bread if desired then layer with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, olive tapenade, and crumble feta.

Made this sandwich last night for supper and it was awesome! JFYI - I served a green salad tossed in the Liquid Gold vinaigrette from Cookie and Kate's "Love Real Food." When DH and I split a second sandwich, I decided to  lightly toss the greens it the dressing and the lemony hit from the dressing was fantastic!

These Caprese Sandwiches are the perfect summer lunch- made with juicy ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and  pest0-mayo on a baguette, they are great made ahead or packed for picnic lunches on the go.
