In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ketchup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to combine.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more smoked paprika for extra smokiness or vinegar for a tangier flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir well before serving, and enjoy as a salad dressing, sandwich spread, or dipping sauce.
