Prepare the pasta according to directions on the package; drain and rinse with cold water.
Dice the crab meat into bite size pieces; then dice the celery into small pieces. Drain the juice off the olives.
Combine the pasta and all other ingredients together in a large bowl; stir in the 3/4 cup of mayonnaise.
Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise. If salad seems a little dry, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of mayonnaise.
Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill before serving.

"We had this last night for a light dinner. It was great. Easy to make and just the right mixture of ingredients. We had this salad with a slice of our favorite bread and that was enough for a nice simple meal."
