In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Gradually drizzle in the vegetable oil while whisking constantly to create a smooth, emulsified base.
Add the finely grated onion, mustard powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk everything together until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, if necessary, by adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir well before serving. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
