In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until well combined and slightly emulsified.
Add the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Continue whisking until the dressing is smooth and all the spices are fully incorporated.
Stir in the water to slightly thin out the dressing. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more water, one teaspoon at a time.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, such as adding a pinch more salt or a dash of vinegar for extra tanginess.
Transfer the dressing to a sealable jar or container. Shake before serving as the ingredients may separate over time.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy on salads, grains, or roasted vegetables!
