Drain the chickpeas from the can and rinse briefly if necessary.

4. Prepare the dressing:
Put the lemon juice, mustard, pressed garlic clove, sugar, salt, pepper, and chopped chives in a bowl. Gradually stir in the olive oil. Add a little water to achieve the desired creamy consistency.

5. Assemble the bowl:
Mix the quinoa with the chopped vegetables and chickpeas in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over it and mix everything well.

6. Serve:
Divide the quinoa bowl between plates and garnish with fresh chives to taste.
