In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ketchup and apple cider vinegar, whisking together to create a smooth base.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to ensure it emulsifies with the ketchup mixture.
Add the maple syrup and Dijon mustard to the bowl, and whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Continue whisking the mixture until the spices are thoroughly incorporated and the dressing is homogenous.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or maple syrup to balance flavors to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before serving. Use as a dressing for salads or as a dip for veggies and other appetizers.
