1 pound fresh asparagus, (or use well drained canned, just skip the
..cooking instructions and refrigerate)
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup CRISCO Vegetable Oil

fresh asparagus cooking instructions:
Snap off the tough asparagus ends. Discard. Peel ends of spears with
sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, if desired.

cover with plastic wrap. Cook on full power for 2 to 3 minutes, or until
crisp-tender. Drain well. Transfer asparagus to serving plate.

Combine orange juice, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper in jar
with tight-fitting lid. Shake well. Add oil. Shake well again. Pour as much
dressing as wanted over warm asparagus. Sprinkle with egg yolk, if used.

The salad can also be served chilled. Do not top spears with dressing until
just prior to serving.
