Roasted Poblano and Roasted Garlic Salsa

Rita~'s Note:

For those that Like it Hot! This includes a habanero chili but if you can't take the heat use a jalapeno in place of it. Be sure to remove the seeds and liquid by squeezing the 1/2'd tomatoes before dicing. Use Roasted Garlic & Pearl Onions With Herbs without the optional onions.
