  4. In a food processor, combine the chopped tomatoes, finely chopped white onions, fresh orange juice, fresh habanero chiles, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  5. Process the mixture until it is fairly smooth but retains some texture.
  6. Transfer the tomato puree to a large mixing bowl.
  7. Stir in 2/3 cup finely diced seedless cucumber, 2/3 cup finely diced red radish, 2/3 cup finely diced jicama root, 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro, and 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint.
  8. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
