Try this, not a very elegant solution, but should works:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid transparent;">
Left Column
</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid transparent;">
Right Column
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
If you want to make the table takes the full width of the page, add style="width: 100%;"
to the <table>
:
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid transparent;">
Left Column
</td>
<td style="border: 1px solid transparent;">
Right Column
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
