Quick-Pickled Cucumber Salad with Watermelon and Blueberries image

This super-refreshing salad takes inspiration from the flavors of a bread and butter pickle. Toss sweet and crunchy cucumbers, watermelon and blueberries in the pickle-flavored dressing and let the flavors mingle as the salad chills-the longer, the better.
