Salmorejo base (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tomato

(Other definitions for tomato that I've seen before include "A motto, oddly, for this fruit" , "Pulpy edible fruit" , "A motto turned out to be fruit/veg" , "Pulpy fruit eaten as vegetable" , "Shiny red fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
