Simple, yet elegant, way to serve Caesar salad. Low carb and diabetic friendly
Heat grill pan over high heat.
For the salad, in a small bowl combine olive oil, garlic, a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds pepper. Cut lettuce heads in half lengthwise and brush with olive oil mixture.
Grill lettuce until slightly blackened (grill marks) and wilted. Transfer lettuce to a serving platter. Spread lightly with mashed anchovies if desired.
Squeeze lemon over the lettuce. Sprinkle shaved Parmesan over the top, drizzle with the anchovy oil and garnish with parsley.

You could add a few mini-croutons if you desired. I tried to keep the carbs low to satisfy diabetic diet requirements.
