Rinse the quinoa under cold, running water to remove any bitterness.
In a saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for enhanced flavour.
