Summary
I've made this pie every summer since I was 10. The crust is a little salty which is a nice accompaniment to the sweet strawberries. Everyone loves it. Fresh, ripe strawberries are a must.

I've made this recipe at least 3 times. It is always delicious and a hit at any party or BBQ. It is very pretty and tastes great. I ususally try and get my strawberries at a farmers market so they are extre fresh and sweet.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
