Begin by washing all fresh vegetables and herbs thoroughly under cold water.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes until tender, then drain and let cool.
Cut the cucumbers and radishes into small dice and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions, dill, and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the cucumbers and radishes.
Dice the cooked chicken breast and add it to the vegetable mixture.
Peel and dice the hard-boiled eggs, adding them to the other ingredients.
Once the potatoes are cooled, add them to the mixing bowl.
In a separate container, prepare the soup base by combining the water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pour the liquid mixture over the vegetable and chicken mix, stirring gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Chill the okroshka in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld.
Serve cold, garnishing with additional fresh dill or parsley, if desired.
