3 Bean Party Dip

I originally tried this from my friend Lisa. She used a couple of bottled dressings and some different spices, but when I went to make it, I did not have what I needed, so I made my own dressing.

Serve this as a dip with scoop shaped tortilla chips, to make sure you get every bite.
