My hubby and I love Caprese Salad and there are so many ways to serve it.  This one is a quick and easy version, just throw it all in a bowl!  Sometimes I halve the tomatoes (if I feel like going through the extra trouble).  And sometimes I serve it on a crostini to make bruschetta for an appetizer.  Try it any way you like it!
