Ethiopian Spicy Tomato Lentil Stew Berbere, a traditional Ethiopian seasoning mix of chili, garlic, fenugreek, and several other spices, makes this vegetarian dish super-flavorful and aromatic. Tomatoes and carrots add sweet flavor notes -- and provide vitamins A and C. Lentils are a rich source of iron, fiber, and protein. Easy to prepare in about 45 minutes, Ethiopian tomato-lentil stew is also low in fat and calories. Cool, Colorful Gazpacho Choose the most flavorful, juicy tomatoes you can find for this chilled soup. Use a 3:1 ratio of tomatoes to other ingredients such as bell peppers, onions, and cucumbers. For a sweet twist, try watermelon-tomato gazpacho. Both of these bright red fruits are full of the antioxidant lycopene. A Better BLT Stack whole wheat bread with thick slices of tomato, tasty greens like arugula, and two slices of thick-cut, uncured bacon. Go easy on the mayo -- use less than a tablespoon -- and your sandwich weighs in at fewer than 500 calories. Skip one slice of bacon if youd like to shave about 100 calories from this tomato-lovers classic. Easy, Homemade Tomato Soup Making your own tomato soup is simple. Simmer onions and tomatoes -- canned are fine. Add flour and milk for a creamy taste without the calories and fat of cream. Toss in a pinch of baking soda to cut the tomatoes acidity, then puree everything. Caprese Salad Fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, leafy basil, and olive oil are all you need to whip up this summer salad. Heirloom tomatoes in golden-yellow or dark green stripes will add extra color interest. For an appetizer version, skewer a cherry tomato, a mini-ball of fresh mozzarella (called bocconcini) and a basil leaf; then finish each skewer with an olive oil drizzle. Reviewed by Kathleen M.
