Peel and dice the yellow potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Peel and dice the carrots into small cubes. In a small pot, boil the carrots for about 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, boil the green peas for 1-2 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Finely chop the red onion and set aside.
To make the Whole30 mayonnaise, start by blending the egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic clove (minced), and a pinch of salt in a blender or food processor until combined.
With the blender or processor running on low, very slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify into a creamy mayonnaise. This process should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once the mayonnaise is ready, in a large bowl, gently mix the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, and red onion.
Add the mayonnaise to the vegetables, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
