Bean Chip Dip

I first had this recipe at a baby shower.  Come to think of it, it might have been my baby shower!  My friend Kathy brought it and everybody raved about it.  I was hoping to have similar luck in bringing it to a Pioneer Day picnic this weekend.  It was over 100 degrees, and I thought that this yummy cool dip would be a good idea.  At the end of the picnic, there was still quite a bit of it left, so I wondered if I had done something wrong and no one liked it.  When I went to pick it up off of the table I  had 3 different people ask me for the recipe, so I guess I did alright!
It's technically a dip, eaten best with Tostitos Scoops, but it's consistency is more of a salsa, or even a bean salad.
