Step 1
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
Step 2
Using a sharp peeler, thinly peel asparagus to equal 3 cups asparagus ribbons. Add the asparagus and parsley to the bowl; toss gently to coat.

Place about 2/3 cup asparagus mixture on each of 4 plates. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons almonds; top each serving with 1 egg. Sprinkle evenly with Manchego cheese.
