Here comes the hot season. In summer, many people change their eating habits.

A dish called okroshka is especially popular during the summer months.

The good thing about cold soup is that it satisfies hunger and is quite refreshing.

But how to make okroshka as tasty as possible? It turns out that the primary attention should be paid not to the liquid (kefir or kvass) and not even to the main ingredients (eggs, sausage, vegetables).

The secret to this incredibly flavorful soup is… the dressing.

How to Make the Perfect Okroshka Dressing

First, you need to mix sour cream and mayonnaise. The ratio of delicate components by volume should be approximately equal.

Add grated egg yolk and a little mustard to the resulting mixture.

For 100 grams of sour cream and mayonnaise mixture there should be two yolks and 1 teaspoon of mustard component. Mix the mass thoroughly.

There is an important point. So, the prepared dressing, oddly enough, should be added first: before the vegetables and meat, and especially before the kvass or kefir.

The sauce mixture should be placed on the bottom of the dish in which you plan to cook okroshka.

And only after this can you pour chopped vegetables and sausage into the same container, and then pour in the liquid.
