Fennel Cucumber Relish

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb fennel, stalks discarded and bulb finely chopped

• 1 lb seedless cucumbers, halved lengthwise, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice

• 6 tablespoons cider vinegar, or to taste

• 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

• 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon sugar
