Ben:

Mom, my friends are coming over for dinner. I want to make chicken salad for them.

Mother:

Good choice, Ben. This salad is simple but delicious. Here are the ingredients: lean chicken, cucumbers, onion, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper.

Ben:

Yes, I've prepared all the ingredients, Mom. Now, what should I do first?

Mother:

Boil the chicken. And while the chicken is cooking, wash two cucumbers, chop them in half and slice them. Then peel an onion and slice it. You should be careful if you use the red knife – it's sharp.

Ben:

Right, everything's ready. What should I do next?

Mother:

Mix the sliced cucumber and onion in a bowl. Add two tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of mayonnaise, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar into the bowl and mix well. Leave the mixture to marinate for 10 minutes.

Ben:

Yes, Mom. Oh, the chicken is cooked.

Mother:

Good, it's ready. Now slice the cooked chicken and combine it with the mixture in the bowl.

Ben:

OK.

Mother:

Finally, add some pepper before eating.

Ben:

Thanks Mom. Oh, my friends are here now.

Friends:

Wowww! What a tasty dish! I'm starving.I can't wait to try it.
