The goal is to keep from overpowering the lovely, delicate flavor of the crabmeat, so only the simplest ingredients are used to enhance the natural deliciousness of the meat.
To accomplish this, mix all of the ingredients together, reserving the mayonnaise for last, and only using enough to make the salad stick together lightly. This shouldn't be as goopy as typical tuna or chicken salad. Also, make sure to stir by rolling the salad up from the bottom so as not to break apart any of the large clumps of crabmeat.
