Pat the rinsed and drained chickpeas with a paper towel, removing all excess water.

Spread chickpeas out on to a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, shaking the pan every 10 minutes to move them around.
Let the chickpeas fully cool.
Divide the salad ingredients between four wide-mouthed quart-sized mason jars in the following order: dressing, black beans, corn, celery, quinoa, cheese, tomatoes, roasted chickpeas, and salad greens.
Tightly screw on the lid to each jar and place them in the refrigerator. The salads should last up to five days.
