In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until combined, then set aside.
Once the quinoa is almost cool, add it to the serving bowl and drizzle the dressing on top. Stir until mixture is well combined. Season with black pepper and salt, to taste.
