Method

1

Boil the potatoes in their skins (if using). Hard-boil the eggs: bring a pot of water to a boil, drop in the eggs, and set a timer for 10 minutes. Immediately plunge them into cold running water and peel.

2

Slice the cucumbers and radishes on a mandoline. Dice the potatoes and turkey breast into small cubes. Dice the peeled eggs as well.

3

Make the pesto. Remove the tough stems from the dill. Place all ingredients (except the Parmesan) into a food processor and pulse into a smooth paste. Grate the Parmesan on a microplane and stir it into the paste. Season lightly with pepper.

4

Make the dressing: whisk the kefir and water together, add the anchovy powder, and season with salt to taste. I like to keep the dressing ice-cold—you can pour it into a pitcher and chill it in the freezer for about 15 minutes before serving.

5

Assemble the okroshka. Place the ingredients in a soup bowl, pour the dressing over them, and top with a spoonful of pesto. Don't forget to stir vigorously before eating!
