Mustard Free Garlic Scallion Fresh Herb Pesto

This vibrant, herb-forward pesto is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Packed basil and flat-leaf parsley form a lush green base, while scallion greens add a gentle allium bite that plays beautifully against the creamy ricotta and fruity olive oil. Sunflower seeds step in where pine nuts typically would, giving the pesto a satisfying, slightly nutty depth without any of the usual allergen concerns that come with store-bought versions. The whole thing comes together in a food processor in just a few pulses, so you get a sauce with real texture — not a smooth, featureless paste. Mustard has a sneaky way of turning up in condiments and pre-made sauces, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which makes this a genuinely stress-free option. Toss it with pasta, spoon it over grilled chicken, swipe it on a sandwich, or use it as a dip — it's endlessly versatile. Press a layer of plastic wrap directly against the surface before refrigerating and it stays bright and fresh for up to two days.
