Mike's Salsa

MrTink's Note:

A positively delightful salsa recipe for any occasion. Do not allow the idea of using habanero peppers to scare you off! They really blend well and will not make the dish as spicy as you may think with the seeds and veins removed. If you are brave (or crazy?) like me, leave them in on one or two of the peppers and enjoy the added heat.
