Mama's Slaw by Myron Mixon (The Winningest Man in Barbecue)

2 small heads Green Cabbage, coarsely chopped
2 medium Sweet Onions, diced
2 ripe Tomatoes, diced
3 cups Mayonnaise
Kosher Salt, to taste
Freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
Basic Barbecue Rub (below), optional

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, salt & pepper.  Toss thoroughly.  (You can prepare this up to 6 hours in advance and store it, covered, in the refrigerator.  But if you do, do not add the salt until you're ready to serve the slaw, and too it again just before serving; otherwise the slaw become watery.)  Garnish with basic barbecue rub, if desired.

Serves 12

Basic Barbecue Rub

1 cup (packed) Light Brown Sugar
2 tbsp. Chili Powder
2 tbsp. Dry Mustard
2 tbsp. Onion Powder
2 tbsp. Garlic Powder
2 tbsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 tbsp. Kosher Salt
2 tbsp. Coarsely Ground Black Pepper

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly.  You can store this rub in an airtight container indefinitely.

Personal note:  This rub is excellent on any meat you want to smoke.  Haven't tried it on meat that you put on the grill... don't know why it wouldn't work.  If anyone does try that... please let me know if it's good!!!
