1. Chop onions and habanero. Squeeze the juice of the limes over the onions and habanero mix.
2. Put in a bowl with a tight lid and shake well. You can serve it immediately, but it will be nothing special.
3. Put it in the refrigerator and every day for a week shake it well so that the lime juice totally coats the mixture.

5. After it has marinated for a week, add the cilantro and serve. This salsa lasts several weeks in the fridge.

This recipe is really good, I also add diced button mushrooms in when I add the cilantro....and I add around 1/4 cup of cilantro instead of 2 tbsp. Great with tortilla chips!
