Chaos Salad: A Comfort Bowl for the Overwhelmed & Underprepared | Easy Salad Recipe

Salad for the Overwhelmed (and Possibly Unhinged)

I’ve got a big interview tomorrow. Like, huge. Life-altering huge. If I don’t clear it, the next 3–4 rounds don’t even exist. I’m 100% panicking and also somehow chilling — girlies that get it, get it. 
I don’t know if this is self-sabotage or just good ol’ last-minute chaos, but I’ve always been that person. Planning? Never met her. My life could be titled Entropy, because I flirt with chaos, occasionally stumble into structure, then promptly ghost it.
What does keep me grounded is being bossed around by the people I love. My cousin has been on my case with “How’s your prep?”. I want to throw my phone — but also, please never stop.
If your brain works anything like mine, I see you. Let’s start a support group and cry over salad, shall we?
Because yes, this post is about food. Specifically, the kind of food you throw together when you’re spiraling but still need to function.

 Chaos Salad: Comfort in a Bowl

No measurements. No rules. Just vibes.
Ingredients: 

  • A big handful of spring mix (or any leaves pretending to be fresh)
  • Your go-to dressing (I’m obsessed with this one from Costco)
  • Hot sauce — optional but strongly encouraged (I swear by this one)
  • A mix of nuts – I used almonds + cashews
  • Dates – YES, chopped sweet chaos 
  • Maple syrup or honey – for that lil’ sugar hit
  • Cheese – anything from feta to “I found this in the fridge drawer yesterday”
Instructions:
  1. Toss everything together in a bowl.
  2. Eat it with intensity.
  3. Then prep for that big thing you’re avoiding. You got this.
