Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor for a finer texture. Place the grated carrots in a large salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and ground cumin to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the grated carrots. Toss until the carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
Add the chopped parsley, mint, and walnuts to the salad. Toss again gently to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Karottensalat as a refreshing side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of this Mediterranean-style salad!
