[quote=Anonymous]Isn't corn gluten-free and vegan? And fits in a Thanksgiving theme. Or some sort of white & wild rice pilaf.
But I agree with other posters, simple green beans with oil & salt would work for just about anyone.

Two salad ideas, and they look sort of festive too:
1) Baby kale, diced red apple, radish, craisins. Normally would also have pecan pieces and feta crumbles but you could serve those on the side. Dressing is a simple 2 parts olive oil to 1 part cider vinegar and about a teaspoon of honey that you add before serving. You could swap the honey for some garlic & herbs to make it more like a regular vinaigrette dressing though and it would taste fine. Have made twice for groups and it was all eaten.
2) If anyone remembers the Magic Pan restaurants, this is an approximation of one of their salads. Romaine lettuce, sliced white mushrooms, sliced cucumber, 1 small can drained mandarin orange segments- maybe 2 cans if you need to make a really big salad. Dressing is olive oil, cider vinegar, tarragon, salt, pepper- maybe some thyme as well? The dressing can be flexible but the main flavor is supposed to be tarragon so I never put garlic in.[/quote]
