3 Tbsp sunflower oil (3 Tbsp)

Steps

Toast walnuts on a dry skillet until golden then remove from heat to cool (keep an eye on them; they can burn quickly).
Soak raisins in 1 cup boiling hot water for about 1 minute to soften them up. Drain well and set aside.
Cut carrots into matchsticks and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut apples into matchsticks and toss them with 1 Tbsp lemon juice right away to prevent browning (I used a granny smith apples but most apples will work well.
Add soaked raisins and toasted walnuts to the bowl.
