Tips:

For a more intense flavor, marinate the carrots for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
If you're short on time, you can marinate the carrots for as little as 30 minutes.
Be sure to use a good quality olive oil for the marinade. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
If you don't have any fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried parsley is more concentrated.
Serve the salad chilled for the best flavor.
