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

Yes, you can substitute beef with cooked chicken for a lighter version. Ensure the chicken is boiled and cooled before dicing it into small cubes.
Absolutely! Skip the beef and use more crunchy vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. For protein, add boiled chickpeas or tofu instead.
Store the prepared ingredients (without kvass and dressing) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add kvass and sour cream/mayonnaise only before serving.
Yes! Prep and chop all ingredients ahead, but mix them and add kvass + dressing just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp and fresh.
Replace potatoes with radishes, cucumbers, or cauliflower for a lower-carb version while maintaining the refreshing texture.
Freezing is not recommended, as the vegetables will become mushy. Prepare ingredients fresh and store them refrigerated for short-term use instead.
Dill is classic, but parsley, chives, or mint add great flavor. Adjust quantities based on preference for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Use vegan mayo or a drizzle of olive oil mixed with lemon juice instead of sour cream for a dairy-free alternative.
