Dish soap is just detergent, meaning it breaks up the fat in milk which makes it move rapid. And the food coloring is just to make it noticeable. Soap breaks down the surface tension of the water molecules in milk.

What makes dish soap separate food coloring in a bowl of milk?

It is a science experiment on surface tension in liquids, where drops of food coloring are placed into a shallow plateful of milk. The coloring drops (being lighter, water-based liquids) will usually just stay put due to the surface tension of the milk (which is a denser colloid of fat molecules).You can dip a cotton swab in dish soap, then gently touch the swab to the surface near the drops. Or you can drop a drop of soap into the center of the milk.Adding a little soap will break the surface tension of the milk by dissolving some of the fat. When this happens, the moving surface of the milk will disperse the food coloring drops away from the soap, possibly even down into the milk. You can get a spectacular moving color display as the coloring drops break up and fan out.
