In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ketchup. Stir well until fully blended into a smooth mixture.
Add the sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and sugar to the mayonnaise and ketchup mixture. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved and ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the finely minced white onion, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine, ensuring even seasoning throughout the dressing.
Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled egg, being careful not to break down the egg too much. The egg should be well distributed but not mashed.
Transfer the mixture into a sealable container. For optimal flavor, refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as desired, over salads, on sandwiches, or as a dip for veggies. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
