  1. Prepare the vegetables first: cut the carrot and celery into sticks, cut the cucumber into spears, and string the snow peas. Chill them while you make the hummus.
  2. Put the garlic and lemon juice in the blender and let them sit for 5 minutes to mellow the garlic.
  3. Add the tahini and blend until thick and pale.
  4. Add the chickpeas, cumin and salt, then blend, drizzling in the ice-cold water a little at a time, until very smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add the parsley, dill and mint and pulse just until the herbs are finely chopped and flecked through the hummus.
  6. Spread the hummus in a shallow bowl, make a swirl with the back of a spoon and pour the olive oil into the swirl.
  7. Serve with the carrot, celery, cucumber and snow peas for dipping.
