Instructions: Break off the tough lower end of each stalk of asparagus. Wash and cut stalks into 1 inch pieces. Place asparagus and water in a microwave safe container. Cover and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain excess water out of container. Pour juice and soy sauce over asparagus, add garlic and stir. Marinate for at least one hour. Strain off marinade and use as salad dressing, if desired.

Arrange asparagus on a serving dish and garnish with grated orange rind. Serve at room temperature or chill.

Serves two.
