Creating Harissa Tofu Salad is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Press the Tofu: Begin by pressing the tofu for about 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. This helps enhance the flavors.

2. Marinate the Tofu: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed tofu, harissa paste, olive oil, and salt. Toss to ensure the tofu is well-coated, then let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

3. Cook the Tofu: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides, stirring occasionally.

4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the tofu is cooking, chop the cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley into bite-sized pieces.

5. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked tofu with the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if you’re using it.

6. Mix Gently: Toss everything together carefully to avoid breaking the tofu. Ensure all ingredients are well blended.

7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.

8. Chill (Optional): If you prefer a chilled salad, cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.

9. Serve: Dish out the salad into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
