Drain the raisins, reserving the orange juice.

Place the orange juice in a small pan over medium heat and reduce to approximately 2 tablespoons, until syrupy.

Whisk the reduction into the olive oil, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.

Place the grated carrots in a bowl, add the raisins and toasted almonds.

Spoon in enough dressing to lightly bind the salad.

Finish with the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if needed.
