Texas Roadhouse Parmesan Peppercorn Dressing

High histamine

This dressing is high in histamine from parmesan, buttermilk, mustard flour, and orange and tomato puree.

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.

It is a creamy dressing built on buttermilk and aged parmesan with a tangy, savory base, and several parts drive it up.

  • Aged parmesan and buttermilk — the parmesan is an aged hard cheese and the buttermilk is cultured dairy, and both build histamine and run high.

  • Orange and tomato puree — both are classic histamine liberators, so they run high too, with the mustard flour also high and cider vinegar and soybean oil moderate.

With this many drivers there is no clean tweak, so a plainer oil-based dressing is the friendlier pick.
