Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated carrots into a large mixing bowl.
Add the golden raisins (sultanas) to the bowl. If the raisins are very dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes beforehand, then drain.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl with the carrots and raisins.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the salad and gently fold them in for a bit of crunch.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy your refreshing Carrot and Golden Raisin Sultana Salad!
