Instructions
- 1
Season chickpeas with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and cook 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden on the outside. The crispy chickpeas add a satisfying crunch and boost the protein.

Whisk remaining olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper into a simple dressing.
- 3
Divide quinoa among 4 bowls. Arrange cucumber, cherry tomatoes, olives, and red onion over the quinoa in sections.
