how to make a chicken salad, vocabulary worksheet - ESL worksheet ... - Free Printable

Let me carefully match each instruction (a–l) with the correct picture number (1–12).

I’ll go step by step:

- a – Wash the lettuce → Picture 6 shows hands washing green leafy lettuce under water. ✔
- b – Mix all vegetables → Picture 4 shows a bowl with mixed vegetables and dressing, plus a spoon—this is mixing. ✔
- c – Slice the grilled chicken → Picture 1 shows someone slicing cooked chicken on a cutting board. ✔
- d – Chop the onions → Picture 3 shows chopped onions on a red cutting board, with a knife and whole onion nearby. ✔
- e – Grill two pieces of chicken for 15 minutes → Picture 2 shows chicken on a small grill. ✔
- f – Add the pieces of chicken to the bowl → Picture 10 shows the finished salad with chicken on top of lettuce—this is the final assembly step where chicken is added. But wait: does it show *adding*? Let’s check others. Picture 10 is the final dish; maybe not “adding”. Let’s hold and verify all.

Better to list all pictures and what they clearly show:

1. Slicing cooked chicken → matches c
2. Grilling chicken → matches e
3. Chopping onions (on board, knife, chopped pieces) → d
4. Mixed salad in bowl with dressing bottle → likely b (mixing)
5. Peeling an onion (hands peeling white onion) → matches i
6. Washing lettuce under tap (green leaves) → a
7. Washing a tomato under tap → l (Peel the tomatoes? Wait—no, l says *Peel* the tomatoes, but this is *washing*. Hmm.)
8. Chopped lettuce on cutting board → g (Chop the lettuce)
9. Peeling a tomato with a knife (removing skin) → l (Peel the tomatoes)
10. Finished chicken salad in bowl → likely f (Add chicken to bowl) — but it's already added. Still, it's the only one showing chicken + salad together.
11. Growing lettuce (in container) — irrelevant? Maybe distractor.
12. Tomatoes being sliced on board with knife → matches j (Chop the tomatoes)

Now let’s map each letter precisely:

a. Wash the lettuce → 6
b. Mix all vegetables → 4 (bowl with mixed greens, dressing, spoon)
c. Slice the grilled chicken → 1
d. Chop the onions → 3
e. Grill two pieces of chicken for 15 minutes → 2
f. Add the pieces of chicken to the bowl → This should be a picture showing chicken being placed into a bowl. None *explicitly* show that action—but picture 10 is the result. However, in matching exercises, often the final dish represents the “add” step. Alternatively, maybe no picture shows adding — but we must assign all. Let’s double-check picture 11: it’s lettuce growing — not relevant. Picture 5 is peeling onion → i. Picture 7: washing tomato → but instruction h is *Wash the tomatoes*, and l is *Peel the tomatoes*. So:

h. Wash the tomatoes → 7
i. Peel the onion → 5
j. Chop the tomatoes → 12
k. Add oil, salt and lemon juice → picture 4 shows dressing bottle and bowl — could be k, but b is mixing. Actually, k is *adding* seasonings, then b is mixing *after* adding. So picture 4 may be k (adding), and mixing might be implied later. But there’s no other picture showing mixing.

Wait — picture 8: chopped lettuce on board → g (Chop the lettuce)
Picture 9: peeling tomato → l
So far:
a–6
b–?
c–1
d–3
e–2
f–?
g–8
h–7
i–5
j–12
k–?
l–9

Remaining pictures: 4, 10, 11
Picture 11 is irrelevant (plant growing) — likely a distractor, not used. So only 4 and 10 left for b, f, k.

Let’s read instructions again:

k. Add oil, salt and lemon juice
→ Picture 4 shows a dressing bottle (oil/vinaigrette), salt shaker, lemon half — yes! That fits k.

b. Mix all vegetables
→ After adding chicken and dressing, you mix. Picture 10 is final plated salad — but mixing usually happens in a bowl before plating. However, no picture shows stirring. In many worksheets, the final dish is accepted for “add chicken” (f), and mixing is shown by bowl with ingredients together — picture 4 has mixed veggies *before* chicken? It has greens, maybe tomatoes — but no chicken yet.

Alternative: Maybe picture 10 is f, and picture 4 is b (mixing vegetables *before* adding chicken), which makes sense: you chop veggies, mix them (b), then add chicken (f), then dress (k)? But k says *add oil, salt, lemon juice* — that’s dressing, usually added before or during mixing.

Standard salad order:
1. Prep veggies (wash, chop)
2. Grill chicken
3. Slice chicken
4. Wash/chop lettuce, tomatoes, onions
5. Put veggies in bowl
6. Add chicken
7. Add dressing (oil, salt, lemon)
8. Mix

So:
- a: wash lettuce → 6
- g: chop lettuce → 8
- h: wash tomatoes → 7
- l: peel tomatoes → 9
- j: chop tomatoes → 12
- d: chop onions → 3
- i: peel onion → 5
- e: grill chicken → 2
- c: slice grilled chicken → 1
- f: add chicken to bowl → ?
- k: add oil, salt, lemon → 4 (shows bottle, lemon, salt)
- b: mix all vegetables → 10? But 10 has chicken already.

Wait — picture 10 shows chicken *on top*, not mixed in — so maybe mixing isn’t shown, and b matches picture 4 (vegetables in bowl, ready to mix), and f is picture 10 (adding chicken — even if it's final, it's the only one with chicken + salad), and k might be missing? But picture 4 has dressing items — likely k.
