Okroshka is a whole family of cold soups based on vegetable salads and sourish fillings. According to the classic recipe, they are made with the addition of sour cream, but also not quite authentic mayonnaise caught on the list of products. By adding this sauce, the dish is given a heartiness and a kind of “density”. Without it, okroshka turns out to be watery, unsaturated.
Mayonnaise with a high content of mustard or in its oil, now a rarity. Therefore, seasoning is most often added separately. It is desirable to prepare it yourself, while avoiding the use of vinegar, pepper, horseradish. Such mustards harm the hash more than improve its taste. Of the finished ones, perhaps a very sharp “Russian” is suitable; in any case, it is worth trying the product before adding it.
Okroshka in mayonnaise - the general principles of cooking
• Okroshka - light cold summer soup, consisting of a thick base - vegetable salad and liquid added to it.
• Vegetable salad can consist of both fresh and boiled vegetables. For example, potatoes are never added raw to okroshka.
• Vegetables and greens for “salad” are cut into small pieces, and then mixed. Some types of raw vegetables can be grated. Boiled potatoes finely chopped or mashed tolkushkoy in mashed potatoes.
• Hard-boiled eggs can be added to the vegetable base to enhance the taste and give the dish a satiety. Moreover, the protein can be laid in a crushed form separately from the yolk. And the yolk is pounded on its own or with mustard and injected into the liquid portion.
• In addition to eggs, boiled meat, sliced meat or ground sausage products (cooked sausage without fat or sausage) can be put in okroshka. The type of meat is indicated in the recipe and may vary depending on preferences. In addition to meat products, it is also possible to put boiled seafood in advance in okroshka - squid or shrimp. • Vegetable base is mixed with mayonnaise and then poured with cold liquid. Mayonnaise can also be added to an already diluted vegetable salad.
• Okroshka cooked in mayonnaise can be diluted with drinking water, kefir, kvass, vegetable or fruit decoction, meat broth, carbonated mineral water and even beer. The liquid before adding pre-cooled in the refrigerator.
• You can cool and already cooked dish. It should be noted that the salad diluted with liquid is not stored for a long time. Since it loses its taste and can quickly deteriorate.

Okroshka on mayonnaise - cooking tricks and useful tips
• Chill the boiled products before chopping to cool completely and only then chop. Otherwise, the taste of the dish will change, as fresh vegetables from contact with hot will be half cooked.
• Cut all the ingredients to be ground as small as possible, especially green onions and fresh greens. The dish will be much more tender.
• Potatoes cooked in their skins are slightly harsh and may be slimy, which affects the taste of okroshka. Potatoes boiled without skin - crumbly and okroshka cooked with such potatoes are much tastier.
• Do not cut off the skin of young cucumbers; remove it from more mature ones. Try to taste the pulp of a ripe vegetable; it can taste bitter, especially along the edges of the cucumber. Such places need to be cut off.
• Do not immediately fill the entire vegetable salad with prepared liquid. Better place it on plates and add liquid to them. Diluted okroshka is not stored for a long time even in the refrigerator. With short storage, the dish becomes tasteless.
• Also, do not cook a lot of hash at once. Even if it is not diluted with liquid, “salad” will not last for it for a long time. After a day he may become slippery.
