Ingredients

2 cans Hunt's No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes2 Tbsp Lime Juice2/3 c Chopped Onion2 Serrano Peppers2 Habanero Peppers3 Tbsp Fresh Cilantro1 tsp Mrs. Dash Original Blend4 cloves Garlic.5 tsp Ground Black Pepper.25 tsp Cayenne Pepper.25 tsp Crushed Red Pepper

Directions

Place 1 habanero and 1 serrano pepper (including seeds) in a blender. To that, add 4 cloves garlic, half of the 3 Tbsp Cilantro, dried spices, lime juice, and 1 cup of the diced tomatoes. Blend into as fine a paste as possible.

Chop the remaining parsley and peppers (leaving out the seeds) and add (into a nonreactive bowl) all of the remaining ingredients. Add the pureed mixture from the blender, and stir until well-mixed. Cover and chill for several hours to allow flavors to blend (can be skipped if you're in a hurry)

If it's not hot enough, you can add the seeds from the chopped peppers.

Honestly, I don't know if Mrs. Dash helps at all, so feel free to skip it if you don't have any on-hand :)

If you're not on a low-sodium diet, you could cut a clove or two of garlic and add salt to taste.
