Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Control the heat of the jalapenos - like it spicy? Add more jalapeno or include the membrane and some seeds. Use less jalapeno if you don't like the heat.
  • Add as much - or as little - cilantro as you like. You can swap parsley for the cilantro if you don't care for it.
  • You can make this easy Tomatillo Pico de Gallo recipe up to a day ahead of time.
  • This pico de gallo is totally customizable, add as much jalapeno, onion, cilantro, and lime juice as you like!
