Wouldn't it be more idiomatic without an article: "I had a *** for snack"?

No, as a native speaker, I would always use the article.

The snack just whetted my appetite.
Having fruit as an afternoon snack can help you lose weight.

The only time I would not use an article is in a situation where "Snack" is a regular event/activity on the schedule of a school or day-care for children. In that case, "What did you have for Snack today" would be fine -- comparable to "What did you play at Recess?" or "what did you do in Art?"
