If using, add the toasted slivered almonds and raisins to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the curry dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or curry powder to your liking.

Serve the salad on a bed of mixed greens or lettuce leaves if desired. Alternatively, spoon it onto croissants, wraps, or as a standalone dish.
