Grape Tomatoes Naan Crostini Drizzled with Balsamic Glaze ~ Day 157

Our local farmer's market is filled with all kinds of colorful tomatoes this time of the year.  Among them are these tiny, sweet and juicy  grape tomatoes, one my favorite kind, which cost less than a dollar a pound.  Apart from snacking,  I used the tomatoes to make these refreshing and flavorful crostini.
