Wash and peel the carrots. Using a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade, grate the carrots finely and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and toss well to coat all the carrots evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the salad. Gently toss again to incorporate the parsley.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
