I made this grilled tomatoes tapenade recipe for us one evening, and we all loved it. The tomatoes have such a wonderful and sweet flavor when grilled, while the white balsamic and kalamata olive vinaigrette is tangy and so flavorful. We all thought this easy tomato side dish paired nicely with some juicy steak, grilled corn, and a loaded garden salad.
