Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes and carrots into small, bite-sized cubes.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the boiling water. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the peas to the boiling water with the potatoes and carrots. Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Add the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, and chopped boiled eggs to the mayonnaise mixture. Gently fold everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and gently mix to distribute the parsley throughout the salad.
Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish at your next meal or gathering.
