Tips:

Use ripe tomatillos. Ripe tomatillos will be bright green in color and have a slightly sweet flavor. Avoid using tomatillos that are yellow or have brown spots, as these will be less flavorful.
Dice the tomatillos and onions finely. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the pico de gallo easier to eat.
Use fresh cilantro. Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the pico de gallo. Avoid using dried cilantro, as it will not have the same flavor.
Add a touch of heat. If you like spicy food, you can add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the pico de gallo. Just be sure to remove the seeds and ribs before chopping, as these are the parts of the pepper that are the hottest.
Let the pico de gallo sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Tomatillo pico de gallo is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it mild or spicy, chunky or smooth, tomatillo pico de gallo is a delicious and versatile condiment that you will love.
