Just a little point you may want to run trim over it afterwards to remove
duplicate spaces for example:

=trim(IF(A2<20;$A$1;"")&" "&IF(B2<20;$B$1;"")&" "&IF(C2<20;$C$1;""))

if B2=20

you get

Olives _ _ Cumin

and therefore the trim will remove duplicate spaces as give you

Olives _ Cumin

Maybe...

=trim(a1&" "&b1&" "&c1)

Spaces
 

Niek Otten, Martin Fishlock, and David Biddulph all use
"")&" "& (why???)

you could use this instead
" ")&

To eliminate many spaces as the result . The header should have a space in
front
than OP could use the original formula.

Because in your formula you are putting a space in place of the empty string
when the row 2 value is =20, but what the OP was asking for was a space
between his $A$1,$B$1, and $C$1 results when the row 2 value is <20.
As you say, if row 1 includes either leading or trailing spaces, then the
change isn't needed, but text strings with leading or particularly trailing
spaces often cause confusion elsewhere.
