Among the variety of okroshka recipes, it is difficult to say which one is “correct” or “incorrect”.
In most cases, the hostess relies on her own taste impressions and also consults with family members so that they too have the opportunity to appreciate the pleasant cooling soup.
However, there are two ingredients that will definitely ruin any version of okroshka, so you definitely shouldn’t include them in the recipe.
What products are we talking about?
Peeled cucumbers
Housewives who do not grow cucumbers themselves often peel the vegetables. They think this is the right thing to do, since cucumber peels can supposedly accumulate harmful substances.
However, the taste of such a component will simply be "lost" in okroshka. The pulp of the vegetable has too weak taste qualities.
Plus, the peel helps cucumbers keep their shape, so don't peel the vegetables.
Radish
This product is a fairly important component, but it is worth remembering that we are talking about young, juicy and tasty radishes.
If your radish is too hot and hard, the okroshka will simply be spoiled.
Therefore, before adding radish to a recipe, you must first evaluate its taste.
