    My family makes the best chicken salad. Dad prepares all of the ingredients and Mom makes the relish. There{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a few things that make this chicken salad different from other chicken salad. First, we use fruit jam in the relish. You can buy any fruit jam, like banana jam or orange jam. But we have bottles of strawberry jam that my mother made, so we use strawberry jam. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(two), we put some green olives(橄榄). Green olives give the salad{#blank#}3{#/blank#}interesting taste and make a big{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(different). Now let me tell you how{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make)the salad.

    First, mix{#blank#}6{#/blank#}all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. The ingredients are{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(chicken), tomatoes, green olives, onions and apples. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}you like lettuce, you can also put some. Next, make the relish. Please mix the jam, the juice and the salt. Finally, mix the relish with the salad ingredients.
