Panera Bread Shrimply Baja Salad Stuffer
This Baja stuffer is high in histamine from the shrimp, avocado, tomatoes, ranch, and lemon vinaigrette.
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.
Several high ingredients stack into this one.
-
Shrimp plus liberating produce — cooked shrimp runs high, and both avocado and tomatoes are histamine liberators, so the protein and toppings all land high on their own.
-
Dressings add more — the garden herb ranch is high and the zesty smoky lemon vinaigrette is high too, with the feta cheese, pumpkin seeds, roll, and taco seasoning sitting at moderate underneath.
The romaine, cabbage, and cilantro are mild, but too many high drivers remain to make a small tweak enough.
