- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then place 1 cup in a bowl with 2 tbsp of the dressing and set aside.
- In a large bowl or platter, layer the cooked quinoa and then the other salad ingredients, leaving space for the olives.
- Stuff each olive with a piece of feta cheese.
- Toss the olives in 3 tbsp of flour and set aside.
- Prepare the batter by whisking together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and oregano, then adding sparkling water until the consistency is like pancake batter.
- Heat avocado oil in a medium pot until hot.
- Dip the olives in the batter and fry them until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Let the fried olives rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the olives to the salad, drizzle with dressing, and enjoy!
