Citric acid is in the arsenal of any housewife. It is added to dough, marinades, compotes. This is a great alternative to vinegar when you need to acidify your food without smelling like vinegar.

The housewife's citric acid is often added to okroshka. When okroshka was made on kvass, it did not need to be acidified. But recently it has become fashionable to make okroshka with mayonnaise, kefir, sour cream. When these ingredients are diluted with water, okroshka turns out to be fresh. This is where citric acid comes in.

The subtleties of cooking

• Water for okroshka must be boiled in advance, and then cooled. Those housewives who use raw water for okroshka are shortsighted, believing that citric acid will kill microbes. Raw water mixed with fresh cucumbers, may cause stomach upset. And okroshka from raw water is stored much worse.
• In order not to overdo it with citric acid, it must be diluted in a small amount of boiled water, and then added to the dish at the very end of cooking. All ingredients at that time must be mixed with each other and combined with a liquid - water mixed with mayonnaise or sour cream.
• Citric acid can be diluted with the entire volume of water, adding enough so that the water acquires a pleasant sour taste. After that, chopped vegetables are diluted with water in the same way as they do with kvass.
• Okroshka with citric acid is prepared according to the standard scheme. Vegetables and other foods should be cut into equal pieces: cubes, strips or slices. Then okroshka will look more appetizing, and the ingredients will better combine with each other.

Step-by-step photos of the recipe 1. We love the most ordinary classic okroshka... Everyone always throws in an approximate amount of ingredients, so to speak by eye, I weighed my products so that you can get exactly the same okroshka as mine :)
So, we go to the sea and catch a fish :))) And we go to the garden and dig a young potato to make cold soup you need to carry out 3 hot procedures :)))) we do not peel the potatoes, but thoroughly with three brushes and set to cook, salt after boiling.
2. On the way from the garden we go into the chicken coop and take 4 fresh eggs, put them to cook
3. And, of course, in the same place)))) we take chicken breast, put to cook, salt with tasty salt with spices "7 dishes" after boiling.
4. Finely chop the herbs, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and grind a little. In okroshka I like only green onions and dill, the rest of the herbs kill the whole taste, in my opinion.

6.and radish
7. Finely chop the egg whites, and rub all the yolks on a fine grater
