Okroshka is freshness in a bowl — it’s like summer itself walking into your kitchen. The classic recipe combines simple ingredients: boiled beef, potatoes, crisp cucumbers, and eggs. All of this is dressed with kvass or a mix of sour cream and water, giving the dish its signature sweet-and-sour flavor.

The Ukrainian version often features a generous amount of green onions and dill — local herbs that give it a distinctive aroma and national charm.

This dish has firmly taken root in Ukrainian cuisine as both a refreshing meal for hot days and a source of comfort for the soul.

Let’s prepare that very okroshka that gathers all the summer coolness into one bowl.


Variations

You can replace kvass with sparkling mineral water for a lighter and more delicate aroma. Instead of beef, try a vegetarian version with tofu — it keeps the authentic flavor while making it lighter.


Secrets of tenderness and taste

For extra tenderness, marinate the beef in kvass with a spoonful of apple vinegar before cooking — this enhances the flavor and softens the meat.


Ingredient tips

Choose the freshest produce: young cucumbers just from the market and fragrant spring dill. Use thick sour cream for dressing — it perfectly balances the tanginess.


Small culinary details

Ensure that all ingredients are cut evenly — it guarantees both a neat appearance and a balanced taste.
