I was very disappointed in this recipe. It had hardly no flavor, but we did leave out the jalapeno chile. It was dry and tasted like lime pasta. I hate to admit it, but it would have been way better with a mayonnaise base. Don't know how the mango would have tasted with the mayonnaise. Any other ideas to spice up this dish without totally "un-healthifying" it?

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
