  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Juice of 1 lemon

  2. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes with olive oil and seasonings. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side until tender.
  3. In a large bowl, mix cooked quinoa with grilled vegetables and chickpeas. Add lemon juice and parsley; stir until well combined.
  4. Serve warm or at room temperature—add crumbled feta if desired.
