Fructose Free Garlic Scallion Fresh Herb Pesto

Bright, herby, and creamy in all the right ways, this pesto is the kind of sauce that makes you want to put it on absolutely everything. Packed basil and flat-leaf parsley give it that deep, grassy backbone, while scallion greens step in to deliver a mild, onion-forward bite without the fructose load that comes with using whole onions or shallots. Garlic rounds out the savory depth, and fresh ricotta makes the texture luxuriously smooth — a clever swap that keeps things rich without relying on aged cheeses that can sometimes sneak in unwanted additives. Raw sunflower seeds add a subtle nuttiness and a little body, so every spoonful feels satisfying rather than thin or oily. Managing fructose can make condiments and sauces a minefield, but this one is built entirely from whole, straightforward ingredients you can verify yourself — no jarred shortcuts, no mystery sweeteners, no hidden high-fructose anything. The food processor does most of the work in just a few minutes, and the result is a vibrant, restaurant-quality pesto that tastes genuinely fresh. Stir it into pasta, spread it on toast, or spoon it over grilled vegetables — it's endlessly versatile and completely yours to enjoy without second-guessing the label.
