Instructions
- Peel the Mango: Start by carefully peeling the mango, ensuring you remove the skin completely.

- Chop the Jalapeño: Core and seed the jalapeño pepper, then mince it finely to add a touch of heat.
- Slice the Green Onion: Thinly slice the green onion diagonally to enhance both flavor and presentation.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients: mango, tomatoes, jalapeño, and green onion.
- Dress the Salsa: Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and lime juice, then add the minced garlic, salt, and your choice of fresh basil, coriander, or cilantro.
- Mix Well: Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and mixed, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
