This was really good. Forget about a snack. We had it for breakfast. I did this the lazy lady way. I used ground cumin. Didn't bone or peel the sardines, just flaked it as is. I used whole wheat bread. I also just sprinkled garlic powder on the bread. I could not figure out how to rub garlic on toast without making a mess. I just chopped up the tomatoes without peeling them. Thanks for posting.
