Cherry Tomato, Green Bean and Wax Bean Salad with Herbed Bread Crumbs

You can use any kind of snap bean in this salad, but it looks especially pretty made with dark green beans and pale yellow wax beans. Be sure to add a generous amount of salt to the boiling water so the beans stay vividly colored.
