Is Panera Bread Greek Salad With Chicken High in Histamine?

Panera Bread Greek Salad with Chicken

High histamine

This Greek salad with chicken is high, driven by tomatoes and kalamata olives.

Food here is usually assembled to order from components that were prepped earlier in the day, so it tends to be fresher than a drive-through and less fresh than cooking at home. Histamine builds up as protein foods sit, so how long the chicken or beef has been in the warmer matters as much as what is in the bowl. Treat the rating above as a starting point.

Histamine Liberator Dairy DAO Blocker

This is romaine and grilled chicken with cucumber, tomatoes, feta, pepperoncini, kalamata olives, red onion, and Greek dressing, and a few parts push it high.

Tomatoes and kalamata olives — tomatoes are a classic histamine liberator, and the olives are both high and a DAO blocker, which can slow the enzyme that clears histamine.
Chicken, feta, dressing, and pepperoncini — the grilled chicken, feta, Greek dressing, and pepperoncini all sit moderate, so they add to the picture beneath the high drivers.

The cucumber, romaine, and red onion are the gentler parts here.
