Okroshka on kefir with boiled sausage - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use buttermilk, plain yogurt thinned with water, or even a light beef or vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.
Okroshka can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the chopped ingredients separate from the kefir or dressing until ready to serve for best freshness.
For a vegetarian version, you can omit the sausage or replace it with tofu, tempeh, or a plant-based sausage substitute. Adding extra vegetables like bell peppers or avocado also works well.
To make okroshka low-carb, replace potatoes with cauliflower or radishes for a similar texture. Skip the sausage or use a low-carb meat alternative, and adjust the kefir or dressing to fit your dietary needs.
Chop and add the vegetables just before serving, and avoid letting the okroshka sit for too long after mixing. You can also keep the ingredients separate and combine them in individual portions.
Serve okroshka chilled in individual bowls with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs, cracked black pepper, or a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.
Freezing is not recommended because the vegetables and dairy-based dressings like kefir or sour cream will lose their texture and separate upon thawing.
Simply double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Prepare the components in separate bowls and let guests assemble their own portions to accommodate preferences.
