Using a peeler, peel 2 carrots into long, thin sheets. Then, cut them in half crosswise.
Cut the thin sheets of carrots lengthwise into julienne strips and put them in a medium bowl.
Chop 1 small bunch Italian parsley and add to the bowl.
Add all the seasonings to the bowl: ¼ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Optionally, add ¼ tsp sugar and ¼ tsp Dijon mustard now, if using. Toss the salad well.
Let the salad marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with roasted walnuts and raisins, if you wish. The carrot salad will keep for 5–6 days in the refrigerator.
