Classic okroshka on kefir with sausage, egg and cucumbers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make classic okroshka with kefir sausage? Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. Okroshka, like Olivier salad, has many different recipes; as a rule, each housewife has her own signature recipe, different from others. But let's focus on the classic, the most popular, simple, with boiled sausage in the composition. Cut the sausage into small cubes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the potatoes in their jackets in advance, let them cool a little, peel them and cut them into the same small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Boil chicken eggs hard-boiled in salted water so that they do not burst during cooking. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Fill them with cold water, let cool, peel and cut into small cubes with a knife or using an egg slicer.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the fresh cucumbers and cut them into small cubes or halves, quarters, whatever you like.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash fresh dill and green onions thoroughly, dry them and finely chop them with a knife.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place all prepared ingredients in a deep bowl. The classic okroshka, the recipe for which has been known since the time of our grandmothers, always includes sauerkraut; now some housewives are replacing this product with other ingredients that are similar in taste. But, in my opinion, the most delicious okroshka is made with sauerkraut, with a slight sourness. Rinse the sauerkraut with cold water, squeeze out the liquid and add to the other ingredients.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place salt to taste and chilled sour cream in the salad bowl. Add the greens to the okroshka. Mix the ingredients. You can use kefir as a liquid dressing, but it is advisable to take this product with a small percentage of fat content, because sour cream has already been added, or replace kefir with whey or kvass. I add kefir. The liquid must be chilled so that the okroshka turns out tasty and not sour.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the okroshka to the table or first let it cool a little in the refrigerator. But you need to be extremely careful with eating cold foods in hot weather so as not to catch a cold. Bon appetit!

And I really love making okroshka with mineral water! It turns out very fresh. I just pour it with kefir. I dilute, so to speak, kefir)))

Girls, I also cook this, if you add a little ready-made mustard to it, it will acquire a sharp taste and will be vigorous, like with radish or horseradish. Okroshka with mineral water does not bloat the stomach, like with kvass, and the bubbles from the gas make it effervescently attractive. Thank you girls for reminding me of her!

Another version of our favorite okroshka. I haven’t tried it with mineral water, but now I think it’s a pity.

If you don’t have homemade kvass, you can replace it with mineral water and kefir. At first I doubted it. I’m used to my mom always having kvass. And when I started living on my own, I had no time for kvass. This recipe contains everything you need for okroshka. But sometimes instead of sausage I add boiled beef or chicken. Yes, for a change. And with the greens I cut up some green salad.

Yesterday I saw this recipe. I decided to do it today. If you honestly cut all the ingredients separately and mixed them, and put a little bit in another plate..... it turned out delicious! I added vinegar, I like it sour.
