Chop the red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives into small pieces.
4. Mix the dressing:
Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, pressed garlic clove, maple syrup, salt, and pepper well in a bowl.
5. Assemble the bowl:
Place the couscous or quinoa in bowls as a base. Arrange the chopped vegetables, arugula or spinach, and fried tofu on top. Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
