Cactus Blossom

The Cactus Blossom is one of the most recognizable appetizers in American casual dining. A whole Vidalia onion is hand-cut into a blossom shape, coated in seasoned batter, and deep-fried until golden brown and crunchy. Each petal separates easily for dipping into the tangy Cajun horseradish sauce. This shareable starter feeds 2 to 4 people and has been on the Texas Roadhouse menu since the very beginning. The batter is light enough that you can taste the sweet onion underneath, and the contrast with the zesty dipping sauce makes every bite satisfying.
