Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Add the basil, parsley, scallion greens, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the herbs are roughly broken down and the garlic is finely chopped.
2
Add the sunflower seeds and fresh ricotta. Pulse another 6–8 times until the seeds are coarsely ground and the mixture looks evenly combined but still has some texture.
