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!
