Ingredients
½ cup aged balsamic vinegar
2 large Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 large cucumber, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
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.
