Make the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the water until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges and crimp as desired.
Make the strawberry filling: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and water. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool completely.
Make the whipped cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Top the pie with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Notes
For a more intense strawberry flavor, use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought pie crust.To make the pie even more decadent, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
