Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture.
Stir in the granulated sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, ensuring a balance of tanginess and sweetness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the dressing a good shake before serving. Use it as a salad dressing or dipping sauce.
