Steps:

1. 
   Wash the tomatoes, remove the skin and cut into medium-sized cubes. Wash the green onions, shake off excess water and finely chop. Cut the pickles into small cubes and cut the cheese into small strips. Tip: to easily peel tomatoes, plunge them into boiling water for 1 minute, and then immediately cool by transferring them to a container of cold water.
2. 
   Mix the salad. Place chopped tomatoes, pickles, cheese and green onions in a deep salad bowl. Add salt, ground black pepper and season with a tablespoon of olive oil.
3. 
   Prepare cheese baskets. Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spread the grated cheese into an even layer in a circle shape. When the cheese has melted and set a little, remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Using a spatula, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and place it on an inverted glass or cake pan. Use your hands to lightly press the cheesecake into a container shape.
4. 
   Finish cooking. Place the glass with the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 10 minutes until completely cooled. Carefully remove the cheese basket from the glass and place the salad mixture into it.

   Cheese baskets are a win-win option for a spectacular holiday salad presentation. Prepare baskets according to the number of guests, put a little salad in each basket and immediately serve portioned salads to the table.
