Yeast Free Garlic Scallion Fresh Herb Pesto

Bright, herby, and deeply savory, this pesto is built on a generous base of fresh basil and flat-leaf parsley, with scallion greens adding a mild, grassy bite that makes the whole thing feel alive. Garlic brings the punch, raw sunflower seeds add body and a subtle nuttiness, and fresh ricotta gives it a creamy, almost pillowy texture that sets it apart from the usual pine-nut-and-parmesan version. The food processor does most of the work in under a minute, and the result is a sauce that tastes like it came from somewhere you'd wait in line for. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, store-bought condiments and sauces can be a minefield of hidden fermented ingredients — this one is made entirely from fresh, whole foods with nothing to second-guess. Toss it with pasta, spread it on flatbread, spoon it over roasted vegetables, or use it as a dip — it's genuinely versatile. Just press a layer of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to keep that gorgeous green color intact.
