Texas Roadhouse Dressing, Bleu Cheese
This bleu cheese dressing is high in histamine, driven mainly by the aged bleu cheese.
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 bleu cheese, egg yolks, soybean oil, and vinegar.
-
Bleu cheese leads it — bleu cheese is aged and mold-ripened, and aged cheeses like this build up a lot of histamine as they mature, which is what pushes the whole dressing high.
-
Vinegar and oil add to it — the cider vinegar and soybean oil both sit at a moderate level, so even setting the cheese aside the base is not a low starting point.
A plainer dressing without the aged cheese would be a lower-histamine choice.
