Texas Roadhouse Honey French Dressing
This sweet French dressing is high in histamine, driven by its tomato, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice.
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 sweet, tangy dressing built on tomato, corn syrup, vinegar, and spices.
-
Tomato and lemon juice — both tomato and tomato concentrate are classic histamine liberators, and the lemon juice is a liberator too, so they set the level on their own.
-
Red wine vinegar — it acts as a DAO blocker, which is the enzyme that helps break histamine down, and the paprika, cayenne, and soybean oil sit in the moderate range.
A plain oil-based dressing on the side is a much gentler pour for salads or steak.
