I sometimes use sundried tomatoes in salads or other dished, but most of the time I find those pre-marinated ones way too salt. I want to do some myself and I guess I could easily come up with a simple recipe, but I'd like to know if there are any particularly good ones out there.

I'd like a recipe with not a lot of salt involved. I know that the drying process of the tomatoes involves salt, but don't know if they usually add salt to the marinade as well. If the salty taste just comes from the sundried tomatoes itself, reckon I could soak or rinse them in water for a while before I put them on oil and herbs, or would the water-oil repelling effect screw this idea?

You don't need any great amount of salt- I'm 99.9% sure it's just a seasoning, not anything else. Though I won't say this is definate, as I've never actually tried without- never thought to. Just use a tiny iddy biddy bit of salt, and find them a warm spot. Personally, I like to marinade with orange juice, white balsamic (or a good black balsamic),garlic, thyme, best olive oil I can find, and the tiniest bit of pepper. Whatever you do, get something sharp in there- it brings out the sweetness. But you can do this after drying them, to taste.
