Chopped fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and a splash of cider vinegar bring out the sweet, smoky, floral notes of the habanero pepper. These chiles are known for carrying some serious heat, so only a single habanero pepper is needed to make this vibrant homemade salsa. —Taste Recipes Test Kitchen
