In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and fruit mixture, gently stirring until everything is evenly coated.
If desired, fold in chopped almonds for added crunch.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
