If you use the solution marked as correct, you'll notice that it generates a header that includes the 'concat' string literal. Obviously this is not what you want. Most likely you will want the corresponding headers of your data. This query will work without any modifications, other than substituting column names and table names:

mysql -h xxx.xxx.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com 
--database=mydb -u admin -p 
-e "SELECT 'column1','column2' 
UNION ALL SELECT column1,column2 
FROM table_name WHERE condition = value" > dataset.csv

I just opened the results in the Numbers osx app and the output looks perfect.
