Grilled Tomatoes Tapenade

My friend Kyle made these skewers for us one evening and we all loved them. This recipe comes from Myrecipes.com courtesy of Coastal Living. The tomatoes have such a wonderful and sweet flavor when grilled while the white balsamic and kalamata olive vinaigrette is tangy and so flavorful. I look forward to making this recipe again and again.
