  3. In a frying pan boil about 1 inch of water and remaining 1/4 cup vinegar. Add spears to boiling water. Cook, uncovered, until asparagus is just tender when pierced, about 4 minutes. Drain and immerse in ice cold water. Drain.

  5. Divide onion slices among 4 plates. Arrange spears and orange segments on plates. Add dressing. Salt and pepper to taste.
