Wash, peel, grate carrots and put into a temporary bowl until the wet ingredients are ready. Add as many raisins as you like.

In a medium bowl, or preferably a container with tight fitting lid, reem a jumbo lemon of all its juice & remove the pits. I like pulp but strain it out if you like. However, squish the pulp to extract more juice. Add honey and stir until honey is completely dissolved.

I left off the olive oil amount because you need about a 2:1 ratio to the amount of juice. Blend oil as you incorporate it into the lemon. Taste as you go along until you get a balanced flavor. Grate ginger into mixture and stir to blend.

Add carrots into lemon mixture and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Every once in awhile stir, or shake, the carrot salad. Take out at least a half-hour prior to serving and stir.
