Texas Roadhouse Caesar Dressing

High histamine

This Caesar dressing is high in histamine, driven by anchovies, vinegars, and lemon.

Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.

This is a creamy dressing built on egg yolk, oil, and milk with anchovies, tamarind, vinegars, and lemon.

  • Anchovies, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice — cured anchovies and vinegar both run high, red wine vinegar can also make histamine harder to clear, and lemon is a classic liberator. These set the level together.

  • Tamarind and mustard flour — both land high as well, with cider vinegar and a few spices at moderate, so there is no single ingredient to pull out that would bring this down.

A plain oil-based dressing on the side is the lower-histamine way to dress your salad.
