I've made this a few times, and I have to say I love this salsa. It's so easy, quick and everyone who has tried it loves it! Although I haven't actually used the habanero pepper, since they're hard to find where I live, I've used jalepenos, serranos and anaheim peppers all with success! Thanks for the recipe!

I love onions and garlic but this was a bit too strong for me. I think next time I'll cut the onion and garlic in half and it will be perfect for my taste.

This had to have been one of the BEST homemade salsas I've EVER tasted. (And I have 5 other women who work in fine dinning who will back me up on this)! Not only is this gorgeously green, refreshing and FULL of flavor, but it is so easy to make as well. Becuase I was making this for a party, and was not sure the heat tolerance of all of the guests, I used 1 whole habanero, but only HALF of the seeds. It was great, just the right hint of heat at the end. Now that I've tasted it once, I know I can use the whole habanero; seeds and all, without it being too spicy. The fresh herbs REALLY make this something else. I LOVE cilantro, but the addtion of fresh basil is simply PERFECT. There was not a DROP of this left and everyone asked for the recipe!!

Just made this without enough cilantro and using chipotle sauce cause I was out of chipotle peppers. It was lovely even so. I added it to cooked shredded chicken and stirred in some cheese to make the best green chile chicken burritos. Lots of heat but not harsh. Just amazing. Thanks so much. I can't wait to make this exactly as you wrote it.
