If using uncooked quinoa, cook around 1/4 cup as per the packet instructions. Set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray.
Prepare the chickpeas by adding them to the tray and combining with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until crispy, mixing halfway.
Add the kale to a salad bowl along with a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lemon. Use your hands to massage the kale well for 1-2 minutes. Set aside to allow it to soften.
Prepare the remaining salad ingredients, including red cabbage, sundried tomatoes, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, and parsley.
Add the tahini, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl and mix well until smooth and creamy.
Combine the prepared vegetables, seeds, parsley, roasted chickpeas, and dressing in the salad bowl. Mix well to combine and season to taste.
Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
