2. While chickpeas roast, cook quinoa or brown rice in a saucepan with 2 parts water or broth until tender, then fluff and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
3. Dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, and chop fresh herbs; keep vegetables in separate bowls to maintain texture.
4. In a small blender or bowl, whisk tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and water until creamy; season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble each bowl by layering grains, greens, roasted chickpeas, vegetables, olives, roasted peppers, and feta or vegan feta; drizzle with tahini dressing and garnish with extra herbs.
