toss together

Mix without care

Toss together means to combine ingredients or elements quickly and casually, without much care or planning.

In cooking, it usually describes mixing a salad or assembling a simple dish: I'll just toss together a quick pasta.

More broadly, it suggests improvising something from available materials: She tossed together an outfit from what was in her suitcase.
