Mix flour and salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tbsp at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 tsp more water can be added as needed) Make into a ball.

Slice strawberries and rhubarb finely. Mix in bowl with sugar and flour. Place in pie crust and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook another 30-40 minutes.
