If anyone could help me and guide me step-by-step, I'd greatly appreciate it!

A French restaurant offers a special menu on which, for a fixed dinner cost, you can choose from one of two salads, one of two entrees, and one of two desserts. How many different dinners are available?

Please follow the rules of posting at this forum, enunciated at:

Please share your work/thoughts and context of the problem (what is the subject topic?) - so that we know where to begin to help you.

Suppose you following 6 cards marked: E1, E2, S1, S2, D1 and D2.

Suppose you have to pick one card from each Group (E, D & S) - how many groups of 3 cards can you choose?
 
What have you tried? Where are you stuck? You need to tell us this information so that we can help you.
Have you tried to list all the possibilities? Maybe call the salads s1 and s2, the entrees e1 and e2 and the desserts d1 and d2.

So some outcomes would be s1 d1 e2, s2 d2 e1, s1 d2 e1,...
Maybe a tree diagram would be helpful.
Also maybe just listing the possibilities for salads and desserts first, then modifying those outcomes to include entrees would be helpful.
