Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and tomato ketchup.
Whisk the mixture until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard powder, salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl.
Whisk again vigorously until all the ingredients are fully dissolved and the dressing has a consistent texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., more vinegar for tang, more sugar for sweetness).
Pour the dressing into a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake the jar or stir the dressing before each use, as separation may occur naturally.
Serve over your favorite leafy greens, as a dip for fresh vegetables, or use as a marinade for meats or tofu.
