Snap off the tough asparagus ends. Discard. Peel ends of spears with sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, if desired.
Pour 2 teaspoons water into a microwave safe shallow dish. Add asparagus, 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 Crisco Oil. Shake well again. Pour as much dressing as wanted over warm asparagus. Sprinkle with egg yolk, if used. Serve at room temperature.
Note: The salad can also be served chilled. Do not top spears with dressing until just prior to serving.
