Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water for 30 seconds and drain well. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Done when water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the quinoa stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in the lemon zest, then fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa rests, combine the cottage cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir in half the chives.
Spoon the warm lemon quinoa into a bowl. Top with the seasoned cottage cheese. Garnish with the remaining chives and drizzle with olive oil.
