Add diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Incorporate diced mango into the salad for added sweetness.

Chop Scotch bonnet pepper (with gloves on) and add it to the mixture for heat; remove seeds if less heat is desired.

Add diced cucumber to the salad for flavor enhancement.

Include diced bell pepper (red, green, or yellow) to the mixture for additional flavor.

Squeeze the juice of about five lemons into the salad, ensuring enough juice is added as desired.

Add orange juice to the mixture for extra flavor.

Season the salad with kosher salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Add a few dashes of Crystal hot sauce for additional spice.

Finally, add the lemon and lime juice at the end to prevent the conch from toughening up during preparation.
