In a blender or food processor, place the onion, sugar, garlic, and salt, and pulse a few times to combine. Add the lemon juice, mustard, and paprika, and process for 1 minute. In a measuring cup, stir together the safflower oil and water. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle in the oil-water mixture and continue to process until thickened. Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
