Answer: 128

Explanation:

Given : Total ingredients =7

When we select any one of ingredient for salad, then total choices for each ingredient = 2 (Yes or No)

So for all 7 ingredients there will be
2*2*2*2*2*2*2=2^7=128 choices [By fundamental principle of counting]

Hence, there are 128 different salads are possible where two salads are different if they don't include identical ingredients
