Boil and cool carrots and green beans separately in same manner and add to potatoes.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and yogurt and stir into cool vegetable mixture with chicken, pork or ham, and salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
