This was absolutely outstanding. Nothing diet about it in flavor and very filling. WW or not....this is a company dish. My daughter had the great idea to make the corn relish in the future and add a can of black beans and eat it like salsa with some baked tortilla chips. I will do that for sure! I made this exactly as is....no changes. OUTSTANDING!

This was so good! The heat of the cajun seasoning was nicely offset by the cool veggies. I added some chopped cilantro just because I happened to have some. Also subbed a roma tomato for the cherry tomatoes and chopped sweet onion for the scallion. (I didn't have time for another trip to town for the right ingredients.) DH liked it a lot, too!
