While the balsamic vinegar is cooling, arrange tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella slices, and basil leaves in a layered pattern on a small serving platter until the platter is covered. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled balsamic vinegar over the salad. Serve immediately.
