Vegan Appetizer: Fresh Tomato and Olive Bruschetta


Happy Friday everyone! Woohoo it's almost the weekend. Just 8 more hours of work and I'm hittin' the beach first thing tomorrow morning! I made these last night because I was craving italian food. I made the dish a little different by using multi grain bread and adding kalamata olives.
