Is Panera Bread Green Goddess Dressing Blend High in Histamine?

Panera Bread Green Goddess Dressing Blend

High histamine

This green goddess blend is high in histamine, driven by its cultured dressing base and Greek yogurt.

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.

Dairy

This dressing is a green goddess base blended with whole milk plain Greek yogurt and fresh basil.

The dressing base and yogurt carry it — both the green goddess base and the Greek yogurt are cultured, and cultured dairy tends to run high in histamine, which sets the level for the whole blend.
Basil is the mild part — the fresh basil folded in is the gentlest component here, but it does nothing to lower the overall level.

If you want dressing, a drizzle of plain olive oil is a far lower-histamine way to go.
