Rinse the dry lentils thoroughly under cold water, then place them in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender but not mushy.
While the lentils cook, wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press firmly to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create a thick, savory dressing.
Drain any remaining water from the lentils and rinse the canned chickpeas.
Assemble the bowl by placing the raw spinach at the base, then top with the cooked lentils, sautéed tofu, and chickpeas.
Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
