Mushroom and Iceberg Lettuce salad

During the summer months, you don't always have to have a bowl of cereal or an English breakfast every morning to kickstart the day. This recipe felt like an all round breakfast with the croutons replacing my toast plus some lightly sauteed mushrooms surrounded by crunchy lettuce.
