In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, ketchup, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk. This helps emulsify the dressing and create a smooth, creamy texture.
Add the water and whisk again to slightly thin the dressing. Adjust the amount of water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a clean glass jar or salad dressing container. Cover and shake well before serving.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
