Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help create a smooth and emulsified mixture.
Grate the onion using a fine grater. Add the grated onion to the bowl, ensuring any onion juice is included.
Add the salt, dry mustard, and paprika. Whisk again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dressing is smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or paprika to suit your preferences.
Transfer the dressing to a clean, airtight jar or bottle. Allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Shake or stir well before serving. Use as a salad dressing, dipping sauce, or marinade as desired.
