By the way, this is not the first time I have used such a fermented milk drink. Once I cooked okroshka on ayran with shrimp. It turned out quite unusual and tasty.
In general, this summer dish can be seasoned not only with tan and ayran. Try it, maybe you will like vegetable crumble with kvass or kefir more. Although all types of fermented milk are suitable for it. In addition to the above, they use yogurt, whey, and yogurt.
Ingredients:

- dill - to taste;
- tan without gas - 0.9 liters;

Preparation:
If you are preparing okrokha for the first time, then boil the potatoes unpeeled. Once my neighbor conducted an experiment and boiled whole peeled tubers. Of course, it was possible to eat okroshka, but... in general, it was kind of a crapshoot.
Peel the cooled potatoes and cut into cubes. Chop the greens and rub with salt.
Also cut the chicken meat. Prepare the eggs as follows: crumble the whites, combine the yolks with mustard and mash.
You can peel cucumbers and radishes, I didn’t. Chop them coarsely.
Now combine everything in one cup - vegetables, salted herbs, chopped protein and yolks with mustard. Add pepper and salt to taste.
All is ready. It’s better to pour the tan in crumbs just before serving. And if you wish, you can top it with sour cream.
In the summer heat, you don’t want to cook or eat hot dishes. But a refreshing okroshka on tan is an excellent lunch option. Try making this dish, even if you have previously made okroshka exclusively with the addition of kvass. Perhaps one of the recipes below will become your family's favorite.
The basic principle for preparing any okroshka is that all thick ingredients need to be chopped fairly finely. Moreover, all components need to be cut into pieces of approximately the same size.
The composition usually includes potatoes (pre-cooked in their skins and peeled), boiled eggs, and fresh cucumbers. Radishes and meat products are often added. The meat component can be any, but it must be lean. Usually, boiled beef or chicken, as well as boiled sausage, are used.
An obligatory ingredient in okroshka is greens, and there should be quite a lot of it. Choose varieties of greens to suit your taste. It can be not only green onions and dill, but also celery, basil, and parsley. Some housewives add 1-2 sprigs of mint to okroshka to give it a particularly fresh taste.
The fermented milk drink tan is used as a filling. Tan is a traditional product of Caucasian cuisine. It is prepared on the basis of milk and a special starter. Milk is used from cows, goats or sheep.

Okroshka on tan or ayran with sausage
And yet okroshka is associated with sausage. In addition, it is easier to cook with sausage than with meat - after all, you cook the meat for a long time, and you can simply take the sausage and cut it.
Products:
- Tan or Ayran – 1 liter,

Traditional Russian okroshka is delicious not only with kvass, but also with fermented milk drinks, such as tan (as well as ayran, kefir, whey). Select the thickness of the okroshka portion according to your taste or according to the wishes of your household: more base or more tan.
Okroshka can be made from just vegetables, eggs and herbs, but many people like meat options. As meat, the usual doctor's sausage and boiled beef are suitable for the tan version. Do not skimp on greens, usually dill and onions, but try arugula and fresh spinach.
For okroshka on tan, prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Tan is suitable both carbonated and non-carbonated, with cow's or goat's milk. Eggs and potatoes for okroshka need to be boiled and cooled in advance. I suggest steaming the potatoes, 20-25 minutes will be enough for medium-sized ones.
Peel the potatoes and eggs and dice them.
Sometimes I don’t add potatoes to my portion...
I have met and tried options in which the eggs are either rubbed or cut into four pieces lengthwise, but I still like the “small cube” option the most.
Finely chop the fresh herbs.
Cut the meat or sausage and cucumbers into cubes in the same way. The most delicious for me are summer, small cucumbers with pimples.
Mix all the ingredients together. Before serving, store the okroshka preparation in the refrigerator, do not add salt in advance, otherwise the cucumbers and herbs will become unappetizingly soggy.
When serving, pour the required amount of thana into the portions. Salt, ground pepper - optional and to taste.
Okroshka on tan is ready.
Bon appetit!
