Whisk together orange juice, olive oil, vinegar and zest in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to boil and prepare an ice bath. Boil asparagus until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes, drain and place in ice bath right away. Once asparagus is cooled, drain and place on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
Place asparagus on plates, top with orange segments, drizzle with vinaigrette, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and serve.

A tasty make ahead pasta salad. Cook pasta al dente as directed on package and add asparagus for last 3 minutes of cooking and then drain.
