I am all for the heart healthy fats - and they are necessary - BUT as with anything - I don't want to go overboard

Well, a serving of salad dressing is about 2 tablespoons. But the guacamole doesn't have as much fat so you can probly go with a quarter cup. You can figure out the calories on Calorie King. Or the points on Weight Watchers. If you use the calorie king software it will calculate all your fats and stuff for you so you can see your percentage for the day, which is what is important, not the percentage in every single food item.
