Each salsa used a different type of tomato (including Heirloom), a different type of pepper (including the Trinidad Scorpion chili), a different type of citrus, and one mystery ingredient (including cantaloupe). Each salsa was ranked (4 being the highest, 0 being the lowest) on heat, flavor, appearance, and consistancy. Can you use the clues below to determine each woman’s full name (including Ms. Green), color of her bowl (including green), ingredients, and ranking? 1. No one’s first and last name started with the same letter. Roberta White is the only woman whose bowl had the same color as her last name.
