2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons agave nectar
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1/2 Tablespoon dried dill
1 teaspoon salt

Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes. Marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days in the fridge.
Greek Onions
1 large red onion, sliced in half-moons
1 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt/pepper to taste
Sauté onions in oil, covered, about 4-6 minutes over medium heat until softened and sweating, but don’t caramelize. Set aside.
Roasted Tomatoes
1 cup baby tomatoes
1 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss tomatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out tomatoes. Roast at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, until blistered and softened.
To assemble bowls
1 cup quartered artichoke hearts, jarred variety
2 cups prepared couscous
4 cups spinach or your favorite salad greens
Make couscous according to package directions. For 4 bowls, you will need two cups of prepared, fluffed couscous. For a gluten-free alternative, use prepared brown rice or quinoa.
Layer 1 cup spinach in each bowl and top with 1/2 cup couscous. Artfully arrange 1/4 cup artichokes, 1/4 cup Roasted Tomatoes, 1/4 cup Greek Onions, several cubes of Greek Marinated Tofu, and pour on desired amount of Lemon Tahini Dressing. Serve immediately.
