1/4 Tsp dried oregano
1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 Cup quinoa
1-1/2 Cup Chickpeas, drained

Dressing:

Salad:
Rinse the quinoa in a strainer until the water runs clear.
Combine the quinoa, 2 cups water, 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small saucepan, bring to a boil then cover and simmer until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, fluff with a fork and let sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Add the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, red onions, cucumbers and dressing and toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours before serving.
Just before serving, transfer to a platter and sprinkle feta on top.
