- Prepare dressing: In a blender, blend dressing ingredients until well combined.
- Before serving, in a small nonstick skillet on medium, heat additional oil. Break 1 egg into pan and cook to desired style.
- To assemble, in a bowl, place 1 serving cooked millet, raw collard greens, carrots and tofu. Top with 1 serving dressing, cooked egg and sprinkle of each green onions, sesame seeds and pepper.
