Step 1

Make the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Transfer to a large saucepan and add the broth or water, thyme, bay leaf, chile, and a generous pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a low, steady simmer. Cover and cook until cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the dressing.

Step 3

Make the dressing: Place the garlic, lemon zest, vinegar, mustard, and honey in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. While whisking, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream and continue whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 4

When the quinoa is ready, drain off any excess liquid. Discard the bay leaf, chile, and thyme; set aside to cool.

Step 5

Make the salad: Finely grate the zest of the lemon into a large bowl. Trim the top and bottom of the zested lemon. Use a paring knife to cut off all the pith and peel. Cut out the segments between the membranes and pick out any seeds. Cut the segments into small pieces and add to the bowl with the zest.

Step 6

Add the reserved quinoa, cucumber, tuna, arugula, mint, oregano, pine nuts, and shallot. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste and season with flaky salt and pepper as needed. Top with the goat cheese and serve.
