Level:: Intermediate

Ingredients

Slaw:

2 to 3 pounds green cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 small or 1/2 large red onion, quartered and thinly sliced

Dressing:

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
6 tablespoons buttermilk
6 tablespoons Momma's Dry Rub, recipe follows, or your favorite barbecue rub (see Cook's Note)
6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
6 tablespoons buttermilk 2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt

Momma's Dry Rub:

1 pound brown sugar (light or dark)
3 ounces cornstarch
1 cup paprika
1 cup garlic salt
1 cup seasoned salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup ground white pepper
2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground cayenne
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons mustard powder

Directions

Dressing:

For the slaw: Combine the cabbage, carrots and red onions in a large bowl and toss gently.

For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, dry rub, vinegar, sugar and salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) in a bowl until smooth.

Add the dressing to the slaw and toss gently until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Momma's Dry Rub:

Combine the brown sugar and cornstarch in a bowl and mix by hand until the lumps are gone. (This is a great trick for preventing clumps in brown sugar.)

Combine the paprika, garlic salt, seasoned salt, 1 cup of the brown sugar mixture, the granulated sugar, chili powder, black and white peppers, allspice, cayenne, cumin and mustard powder in a large bowl. Mix until well blended. Apply the rub liberally to meats with a shaker prior to smoking, for a true Kansas City BBQ taste.

Cook's Note

Dry rubs vary in saltiness. Be careful not to oversalt the dressing if you are using a different dry rub.
