Okroshka with radish on kefir is a refreshing and light summer soup that is a classic dish of Russian cuisine. Historically, okroshka was popular among peasants as it allowed the use of seasonal vegetables and dairy products for a hearty and refreshing meal. Variations of okroshka exist with different types of liquid bases, but kefir adds a special tenderness and softness to the taste. Radish adds a spicy note and crunchiness, while fresh herbs enrich the flavor. This dish is perfect for hot days when you want something nutritious yet light. It can be served chilled, complemented by a slice of rye bread to make the meal even more traditional.
