Peel and grate the 4 medium-sized carrots using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Add 0.5 cup of raisins to the bowl with the grated carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey (if using), 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Pour the dressing over the carrot and raisin mixture, and toss well to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad one final toss and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve cold as a side dish or light snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
