Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Add them to the quark mixture.

Roughly chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.

For an extra flavor boost, add a dash of red pepper flakes or a few Kalamata olives. This bowl is also excellent served with a side of whole-grain pita bread or crisp lettuce cups.
