Ingredients

• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 5 medium Radishes
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Dill
• 2 cups Low-fat plain yogurt
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
• 1 cup (optional) Cooked unsalted chicken breast or beef

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the potatoes in a pot of water until tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes. Once done, remove them from the pot, allow them to cool, then peel and dice them into small cubes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the cucumber into small cubes. Thinly slice the radishes and chop the green onions. Finely chop the dill as well, reserving a little for garnish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cucumber, radishes, green onions, dill, and the cooked chicken or beef if using for added protein.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, water, and lemon juice. Add the black pepper to the mixture, adjusting to taste.

Step 5

Pour the yogurt mixture over the vegetable and meat (if using) combination. Stir everything until well combined.

Step 6

Refrigerate the okroshka for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled, garnishing with remaining dill. This dish is perfect for a nutritious and light meal, especially on warm days.
