dash of salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Measure coconut into separate bowl, and color with green food coloring.
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) and salt in a medium mixing bowl until foamy. Add sugar and vanilla, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in colored coconut.
Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined cookie sheets; top each with a cherry half. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and place cookie sheets on a damp cloth for a few seconds. Remove macaroons to wire racks to cool. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.
