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

Yes, if kvass is unavailable, you can use chilled kombucha, diluted kefir, or even carbonated water with a squeeze of lemon for a similar tangy flavor.
The chopped okroshka base (without kvass) keeps well for up to 2 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Add kvass and dressing only before serving for best texture.
Omit the chicken and use plant-based protein like boiled chickpeas or diced tofu. Ensure your kvass is vegetarian (some contain honey) or use a vegetarian-friendly substitute.
Use a sharp knife and aim for uniform ¼-½ inch cubes. For efficiency, chop similar-textured ingredients (like radish and cucumber) together.
Freezing isn't recommended as fresh vegetables become watery when thawed. Instead, freeze boiled chicken separately and prep other ingredients fresh.
Replace potatoes with diced radishes or turnips, and use sugar-free kvass. Increase chicken proportion and add avocado for healthy fats.
Try fresh dill sprigs, halved quail eggs, radish slices, or a dollop of spicy mustard mixed into the sour cream dressing.
Yes! Boil eggs, potatoes, and chicken 1-2 days in advance. Chop vegetables fresh before serving to maintain crispness.
