Wild Onion Market

Wild Onion Market We are a cooperative of individuals united by our commitment to healthy food access for all, a resilient local food system and environmental stewardship.

Wild Onion Market is an independent, democratically run, community-owned full-service grocery store (food co-op) at 7007 Clark St., Chicago, serving the Rogers Park/West Ridge/Evanston and surrounding areas. Wild Onion Market will soon be a vibrant grocery store where we can make choices that reflect our shared values; where we cultivate strong relationships with the food we eat, the people who pr

oduce it, and our community as a whole. Our food co-op will specialize in local, organic, natural, fairly traded and sustainable foods and packaging.

🌽🌽🌽 Y’all, we can’t stop eating this charred corn and quinoa salad. The sweet corn from BSRR Youth Center, plus some avocados, peppers, cotija cheese, quinoa, topped with cilantro and lime is a decadent and nutrient-packed summer meal. Serve with chips or on its own. Yum!

RECIPE // 1cup quinoa ¡ 2 ears corn ¡ 2 poblano peppers ¡ 1/2 cup cilantro ¡ 1/2 cup cotija cheese ¡ 2 avocados / Dressing: 1/3 cup olive oil ¡ juice 2 limes ¡ 2 cloves garlic ¡ 1tbsp cilantro ¡ 1 tsp honey ¡ 1/4tsp cumin ¡ salt + pepper

Rinse quinoa and cook with water on stovetop (bring 2 cups water to boil, add quinoa, some salt and cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15mins or until all water is absorbed). Meanwhile, boil or grill corn and cool. Char poblano peppers over high flame (gas stove works). Combine corn, poblano peppers, cilantro, cotija cheese, avocados, and quinoa. Make dressing by whisking olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over quinoa and corn mixture. Season with salt + pepper and enjoy!

Food is art! 🎨🖌️

This week’s bounty is picturesque, can you blame us for playing with our food? We’re so inspired by the harvest, we’ve created a poem for you:

We’ve got purple long beans and amaranth greens; golden gooseberries and Balaton tart cherries.

Carmen, Cubanelle, and baby bell peppers—delicious alone but better together.

Midnight Roma, clementine, and sungold tomatoes; winter acorn squash and local blue potatoes.

Concord grapes and bubblegum plums—so get yourself over here, come and get some!
