Pablo Julián Davis: en definitiva, en este contexto es 'side dish' o simplemente 'side(s)'. en otros contextos podría traducirse con 'garnish' (por ejemplo el tomate o pepino picado u otras cositas que se le echa al gazpacho)

As distinct from a 'side order', which would be your 'plato adicional'.

An 'accompaniment' is usually served on the same plate as the meat, fish or other "preparación principal", although in 'posh' restaurants it may also be served on a separate plate (or in a dish from which it is served across to the 'main' plate).
The main difference between an 'accompaniment' and a 'side dish/order' is that the first is included in the price of the main component of the meal, whilst a 'side order' is charged extra.

trimmings

Explanation:
This may be more common in UK English, I don't know. The term originally comes from dressmaking.
"With this, you must have all the trimmings: roast potatoes cooked in beef or goose fat, sprouts or cabbage, perhaps a few carrots stewed in ..."

--------------------------------------------------

And "roast beef with all the trimmings" gets over half a million google hits. Not that this means anything.

--------------------------------------------------

NB: "trimmings" is plural.

Although "accompaniments", "sides" or "side dishes" would probably work better for the menu list in question.

a helping of . . .*

Explanation:
*If this is a "family" or not very formal restaurant, "helping" would work. It could even be combined with a few other ideas already provided such as "served with a helping of" or just "with a serving of". If it is a more elegant restaurant, "served with a choice of" (suggested by HM) would solve the problem. Like FVS, I was tempted by "garnish / garnishing"; however, despite his examples, in English it is normally used for a very small (and decorative) addition to the plate.
