ROASTED CARROT AND BEET SALAD WITH COUSCOUS AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet until evenly coated. Spread evenly and roast until tender and browned in spots, about 16 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir to combine. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until couscous is tender and all the water has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• Using a sharp knife (chef's or paring), cut both ends off the orange. Stand the orange on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit. Working over a small bowl, carefully cut in between the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them drop into the bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, oregano, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined. Slowly whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified. Toss in the beets, orange segments and roasted carrots until evenly dressed.
• To serve, spoon the couscous into a shallow serving bowl, then top with the salad. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and sunflower seeds.

• Add any desired add-ins and toss again.
• Taste, adjust the seasoning, and let stand for 30 minutes, if you can, before serving: the beets and carrots will render juices that will make the salad moister.
• If you don't have that kind of time and the salad does not feel quite moist enough, add a dash of citrus juice, tomato juice, or any sort of juice that may currently reside in the refrigerator door.

• When it comes to antioxidants, including the carotenoids so prevalent in orange fruits and vegetables, experts pretty much sing the same song: Generally speaking, the right way to go is to cast a wide net instead of focusing on a single antioxidant. (This is their way of saying don't turn into a rabbit and consume so many carrots that you turn orange from a beta-carotene megadose.) Nutritionist Suzanne Dixon notes, "Individual, isolated carotenoids don't tend to provide a whole lot of benefit. You should get the whole food, preferentially. Getting a lot of different carotenoids in the diet, I believe, is a very, very good biomarker of general healthy eating behavior. Those people tend to do better in terms of disease risk across the board."
