Chef Daniel Lugo of Spanish Diner | Washington, D.C.

“This Ensalada de Aguacate is a great representation of the flavors of the Canary Island. The mojo verde is one of the island’s traditional sauces. The Sherry Vinegar from Spain brings acidity to the salad, while maintaining the brightness of the dish.” - Chef Daniel Lugo
