I love it when the dietitians at LMI can take an old classic and make it just as good in a low allergen diet form. This recipe does that for one of my all time favorites, green bean casserole. As a bonus, you are getting two recipes in one. Use the first part of the recipe to make wheat-free onion rings as a delicious occasional side dish. They are really good on their own and simple to make.
