How to Make It
Step 1
1
In a steamer, steam whole potatoes over high heat until tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove potatoes as each is done, then steam carrots until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove carrots and steam pea pods until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain and dry on paper towels.
Step 2
2
When potatoes are cool enough to handle (but still warm), halve each lengthwise and transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with vinegar and let stand 5 minutes. Halve carrots lengthwise and add to potatoes along with cornichons and pea pods.
Step 3
3
In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Pour dressing over vegetables and very gently toss to coat (try not to crush the potatoes). Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with parsley.
