Use a paper towel or a clean dish towel to pat dry the chickpeas. Add chickpeas to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing and 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place chickpeas is a single layer on air fryer rack or in basket. Cook at 390°F until crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and the quinoa to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl and let cool completely.
Add the cucumber, tomatoes, scallions, mint, and parsley to the quinoa and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2-cup dressing and toss to combine. Serve at room temperature on a bed of greens and top with crispy chickpeas and a lemon wedge.
