In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, halved grapes, and chopped celery. Set the bowl aside.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken, grape, and celery mixture. Gently toss together until everything is evenly coated.
If desired, fold in the toasted sliced almonds for a crunchy texture.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve cold as a standalone dish or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
