🌿 Yumino Twist

You can elevate this recipe by adding chopped Yumino Dried Mango or Yumino Dried Coconut for extra texture and tropical sweetness.

Simply soak the dried mango briefly in warm water to soften, chop finely, and fold into the salsa. Sprinkle thin slices of dried coconut on top before serving for a subtle crunch and rich flavor boost.

This variation adds a deeper tropical note while keeping the salsa fresh and vibrant.
