Cajun Roasted Cauliflower Salad

I was inspired to make this salad after seeing a recipe for BBQ Cauliflower Salad this weekend. I made a few changes, like keeping the corn raw and changing up the BBQ sauce for coconut oil and cajun seasoning, and it turned out great! The perfect summer salad to enjoy outside on the patio.
