Okroshka with kefir and beef - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Beef can be substituted with cooked chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Ensure the protein is fully cooked before adding.
Okroshka tastes best fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add the kefir or dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Absolutely! Omit the beef and eggs, and add extra veggies like bell peppers or avocado. Use plant-based mayo or yogurt instead of sour cream if needed.
