Caprese Salad in a Bowl

I make regular Caprese Salad all the time- just layer fresh mozzarella or burrata on a serving tray with fresh tomatoes and basil, and top with salt, pepper, oregano, olive oil and balsamic reduction.  I guess I don't really have a recipe on here for it- but I just make it like described above.  I can add one soon.  Anyway, this recipe is a variation on that and great for summer.  You just mix everything in a bowl.  Be sure to use the tiny balls of fresh mozzarella.
