Peel and grate the 4 large carrots using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated carrots in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots and toss until the carrots are evenly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley roughly and add 0.25 cup to the carrot mixture along with 0.25 cup raisins.
Toss the salad again to incorporate the parsley and raisins throughout.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup toasted sunflower seeds on top of the salad.
Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Toss again lightly before serving if prepared in advance.
