Okroshka is an amazing dish! No matter how much you cook it, it is still eaten in one day. Moreover, as my family noticed, it’s not so important whether it’s hot or cold outside.
By the way, this cold soup has been known for a very long time and has undergone a huge number of changes in its composition. That's why traditional recipe everyone has their own.
Today we will prepare okroshka with kefir. Some may be surprised, but in fact, its sourness and thickness only add piquancy to the freshness of the vegetables. And, of course, I won’t ignore gourmets; a very unusual recipe with salmon has been prepared for them.
Meat and vegetables are taken as the basis, but everyone understands something different by these concepts. Some people use sausages as meat, while others use turkey.
Everything in okroshka can be considered dietary products except potatoes and sausage.
We will simply remove the tubers from the recipe and add the correct protein in the form of chicken (can be replaced with turkey). This is important both for those losing weight and for those building muscle.
To get more microelements and vitamins, don’t skimp on greens; anything will do: dill, parsley, celery, onions and even cilantro.
In this recipe, kefir is diluted with mineral water. Of course, you don’t have to do this, but then you get a very thick consistency. And the bubbles in mineral water add an interesting note and taste.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cucumber
- 1 boiled chicken breast
- Greenery
- 2.5 l kefir
- 100 ml mineral water
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes and the fillets for 30 minutes until done.
Finely chop all ingredients. To get more thickness, you can use a fork to separate the meat fibers.
Mix all the ingredients and pour in kefir and mineral water.
For those losing weight, salt is not added to this recipe, but you can replace it with natural salt in the mineral water itself, for example Essentuki No. 7.
You can also add a spoonful of horseradish or mustard for richness.
If you need a healthy snack rather than a protein one, then add celery or lettuce to the greens.

Delicious recipe with mustard
My mother-in-law opened okroshka with mustard for me. Before seasoning the chopped ingredients, she dilutes a spoonful of mustard in a glass of mineral water. And then this mixture is poured into kefir or sour cream.
The taste is unusual, a little vigorous, but with sourness. By the way, the aroma does not come from mustard, but from all the ingredients, I didn’t even realize at first that mustard was present.

To make the meat juicier, you need to put it in boiling water, then the closed pores will not allow the juice to leak out.
Chop potatoes, radishes, egg whites and cucumbers.
Place in a bowl and pour in kefir sauce.
You can serve the portion beautifully by placing the salad mixture in the center in a round shape. And pour the sauce around.

All this needs to be ground and placed in a common container.
Salt and add 0.5 tsp. citric acid, then fill the cold soup with kefir and water.

Very tasty proven recipe with radishes and meat
We'll take beef. Take fresh, it tastes more tender and cooks faster.
You may have noticed that any meat product complement very much fresh vegetables. For example, as soon as a chicken salad starts to play, you should chop a cucumber and a tomato with it.
Since okroshka is considered a spring dish, we often find radishes in its composition. We start eating this vegetable very first, because neither cucumbers nor tomatoes have yet had time to produce their first harvest in May, but okroshka with radishes is already ready.
So, let's start cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of kefir
- 200 g boiled meat
- 200 g boiled potatoes
- 200 g cucumbers
- 200 g radish
- 4 chicken eggs
- Greenery
- Salt pepper
Please note that we take all ingredients in the same proportions.
We wash the radishes well and cut off the butts.
Boil the meat until it becomes soft. It is better to take beef or veal.
We grind all the products.
But we don’t cut one cucumber, but grate it. This will release more juice and the soup itself will become thicker. I know that many eggs don’t cut all of them, and sometimes they leave one so that they can grate it later.
Look how much meat you have left so you can't add potatoes. After all, okroshka is, first of all, healthy and light dish, here it is important to stop in time and not oversaturate it with carbohydrates.
Unusual composition with salmon
I've never tried to eat salted fish, drinking fermented milk product. But in our Ural cafes and restaurants you can see this amazing combination on the menu. Surprisingly, the taste of fish okroshka is very delicate, and the smell of salmon is almost not noticeable.
Ingredients:
- 150 g lightly salted salmon
- 3 small cucumbers
- 1 stalk of celery
- 0.5 onions
- 100 g greens
- 1 potato tuber
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml kefir
- 1 tsp mustard
- 10 ml mineral water
Boil potatoes and eggs in advance. Cool them and start chopping them finely.
Try to remove the bones from the salmon. This is important, especially if there are children at the table.
Rinse the greens first under running water and dry on a towel. If you don’t want to cut with a knife, then ordinary kitchen scissors will cut the greens just as well.
Chop all the ingredients and mix them in one bowl.
Fill with kefir and mineral water. Then stir the mustard into the soup.
Advice for those who like to dilute kefir with mineral water - do not take the highly carbonated type, because your soup may foam, it is better to take a medium carbonated one.
The question arises - how much to pour? mineral water. There are no clear proportions here. If you don’t like the taste of kefir, then dilute them one to one.
I would be grateful for your comments, write what kind of okroshka you like and which recipe you like best!!!
