Tomato

A side dish for grilled chicken, steak or fish.

A stick-to-the-ribs-not-the-waistline chili. Great served with all the usual toppings: chopped red or green onions, chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese (low-fat, of course) and nonfat yogurt.

The roasted vegetables add great depth of flavor to this soup.

Crusty bread and a salad complete the meal.

Here's a popular starter at The American Restaurant in Kansas City.
