Cook the Quinoa: Rinse quinoa and combine with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook about 15 minutes, until quinoa has absorbed all of the water. Remove from heat, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa cooks: In a large serving bowl, combine with chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, tomatoes, feta and parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk to combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add cooked quinoa to the large serving bowl, and pour dressing over the top to absorb into the quina. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season to taste with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
Place in the refrigerator to cool before serving. This salad gets better the longer it rests!
