1. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, lime juice, vinegar, mustard, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Let these ingredients sit for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor of the shallot. Then drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until the dressing emulsifies.
2. Prep the vegetables and combine them in a large bowl. Toss the vegetables with a little vinaigrette at a time, until they're coated but not drenched. Toss in the basil leaves and add salt and pepper to taste.
