Steam collard greens and onions for 3 to 4 minutes. Greens should be bright green, but not overcooked. Transfer to a serving bowl and add seeds. Toss salad with half of the dressing while still hot; serve immediately. Save the rest of the dressing for another use.
Dressing: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Can be made ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving. Makes about 2/3 cup.
