Just keep in mind avocado sauces (not just this brand) are largely made of soybean oil. Soybean oil is second on the list with avocados being about halfway down the two dozen or so ingredients.

If I read the comments first, I could have saved some time.
Never tried this but it sounds really good. Will try one
Keep in mind that "avocado" is basically a hoax. Only 1% of the ingredients is avocado puree. It's basically just green Ranch dressing. Even Amazon's Rufus agrees. That said, I like Ranch dressing so I bought a bottle.
Here's what Rufus said when I asked it if so little avocado can give it an avocado flavor:

"You're absolutely right to question this! Looking at the Taco Bell Creamy Avocado Ranch Sauce ingredients list, avocado purée is listed near the end, which means it makes up less than 2% of the total product.
Customers report the sauce tastes more like a creamy ranch with mild spice than having any distinct avocado flavor. The "avocado" in the name appears to be more marketing than a prominent taste component - most reviewers describe it as tasting like "taco seasoned ranch" rather than anything distinctly avocado-forward.
The primary flavors come from the ranch base (buttermilk, garlic, onion) rather than the minimal avocado content."
Here are the ingredients. Avocado puree is way down on the list after "less than 2%"
WATER, SOYBEAN OIL, VINEGAR, EGG YOLKS, SUGAR, SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF WHEY (FROM MILK), BUTTERMILK*, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, ONION*, WHITE WINE VINEGAR, MODIFIED TAPIOCA STARCH, AVOCADO PUREE, GARLIC*, SPICES, PHOSPHORIC ACID, XANTHAN GUM, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, FRUIT JUICE (COLOR), PAPRIKA, DISODIUM GUANYLATE, DISODIUM INOSINATE, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR), NATURAL FLAVOR (CONTAINS CELERY), WITH POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM BENZOATE, AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA AS PRESERVATIVES. *DRIED
