Is Queso as a Salad Dressing Tex-Kosher?

We like it on chips, tacos, and, well, just about anything else. But does that mean it’s okay to put it on salad?

A few days ago a picture crossed my desk of the salad dressing menu of Jax Grill, a venerable Houston restaurant offering down-home fare.

Jax has an entire single-page menu of their eleven house-made dressings, including the usual suspects: oil and vinegar, Thousand Island, bleu cheese, and three ranch varietals: regular, jalapeño, and low-fat.

And then there is one of the most Texan menu stipulations I’ve ever seen:

“QUESO IS NOT AN OPTION FOR SALAD DRESSING.” (Underlining original.)

“I just thought it was hilarious,” says Becky Downs, a Houston native who sent out the picture over Facebook. “Only in Texas. I sent it to my friends out of state to show them what life was like in Texas.”

A Jax manager told me over the phone that they’d been forced to add that to the menu due to popular demand for ensaladas con queso.    http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/queso-salad-dressing-tex-kosher/
