All 10 of the adult animals tested positive for Equine Piroplasmosis (EP).

Dice Green & Red Peppers and Tomatoes. Chop Garlic, Onion, Jalapenos, and Cilantro. Add all into a large mixing bowl. Add Corn and Beans. Squeeze Lime and add about 3⁄4 bottle of Italian Dressing to mixture. Stir until everything is mixed together. I do not recom- mend using a food processor. I chop everything by hand. I think
it tastes better that way. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Serve with Tostitos scoops.
