Homemade Tomatillo Pico de Gallo Salsa
Tomatillos can be found in your local Latin American or Mexican market. They look like green, unripe tomatoes with a dry, leafy husk that wraps around the outside. Bite into a tomatillo and you’ll notice they’re tangy, slightly tart and citrusy with a hint of sweetness.
The tanginess of tomatillos is why they are such a popular choice in Mexican cuisine to add acidity to dishes.
This crunchy Pico de Gallo celebrates the unique attributes of the tomatillo, pairing it perfectly with tart lime, zesty garlic, spicy jalapeno and fragrant cilantro.
Our Tomatillo Pico de Gallo is vegan and vegetarian friendly. The recipe can be enjoyed as a healthy snack served with tortilla chips, or as a condiment served with meaty main dishes like tacos, tostadas, chilaquiles, Chile Pork Stew and Smoky Meatballs.
