My family makes the best chicken salad. Dad prepares（准备）all of the ingredients and Mom makes the relish. There are a few things that make this chicken salad different from the other chicken salads.

First，we use fruit jam（果酱）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 the strawberry jam. Second，we put some green olives（橄榄）.Green olives give the salad an interesting taste and make a big difference. Now let me tell you how my family makes the salad.

First mix up all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. The ingredients are chicken，tomatoes，green olives, onions and apples. If 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. Do you have a favorite chicken salad recipe? Please tell us about it.
